Preparation method

1. Heat the oven to 160 degrees. Mix the flour with the sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter into cubes and stir into the mixture until crumbs form. This can also be done in the food processor.
2. Now add the water, vanilla extract and agave syrup and knead until it becomes a soft dough. Dust with some flour and wrap in foil. Now let this rest for 30 minutes in the fridge to firm up.
3. Dust the work surface with flour, roll out the dough to about 1-1.5 cm thick and cut out round cookies, about the size of a slice of kiwi.
4. Use the milk to brush the cookies and bake them on a baking tray in the oven for 18-20 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie and cut the kiwi into slices of about 1-1.5 cm thick.
6. When the cookies have cooled completely, you can start stacking. Biscuit – kiwi slice – biscuit. Now dip half of it in dark chocolate and place on a baking paper so that the chocolate can harden. Enjoy your meal!
