Ingredients

  • 100 g Powdered sugar

Steps

  1. Grind the butter cookies in a multiprocessor and pour them into a larger bowl. Cut the butter into smaller pieces and add them to the ground cookies. Add ground almonds and hazelnuts, powdered sugar, chocolate powder, and cocoa.

  2. Pour in the orange juice and milk, then knead all the ingredients with your hands until you get a firm dough. Place the prepared dough in the refrigerator for at least two hours to cool and firm up.

  3. Shape the cooled dough into small balls, flattening and narrowing one side slightly to give them the shape of hedgehogs (see picture).
