Baking parchment 

Wire cooling rack 

Piping bags

Wooden skewer or similar

Ingredients:

For the Chocolate uncinetti:

190g (1 ½ cups minus 1 tbsp) plain/all-purpose flour* (plus extra for rolling)

10g (1 tbsp) cocoa powder 

50g (¼ cup) caster or granulated sugar

1 tsp baking powder 

A pinch of salt

1 large (XL in US) egg 

50g (3 ½ tbsp) unsalted butter (melted)

50ml (¼ cup) milk 

1 tsp vanilla paste/vanilla extract

About 25g dark or milk chocolate, melted, for decoration (optional)

If you decide to decorate the chocolate uncinetti like sheep, you can use ready made edible sugar eyes if you prefer but they are a bit big.

*By removing 1 tbsp flour, we ensure that the dough won’t be dry when we add in the cocoa powder

For the Lemon or orange uncinetti:

200g (1 ½ cups) plain/all-purpose flour (plus extra for rolling)

Zest of 1 unwaxed lemon or about ½ an orange 

50g (¼ cup) caster or granulated sugar

1 tsp baking powder 

A pinch of salt

1 large (XL in US) egg 

50g (3 ½ tbsp) unsalted butter (melted)

50ml (¼ cup) milk

For the Lemon or orange glacé icing:

150g (1 ¼ cups) icing/powdered sugar 

6 tsp fresh lemon/orange juice

This should make enough icing to decorate both flavours of cookie. Halve the quantity if you are only making one flavour.
