These Margot hearts are among the recipes that win you over with the first batch. The base is a simple buttery dough, but the real character of these cookies is given by the filling made from grated Margot chocolate bar and a delicate buttercream. The top chocolate glaze complemented by Ledové kaštany creates a flavor you’ll immediately fall in love with. The cookies are delicate, hold their shape beautifully and are great not only for Christmas, but also as a sweet gift throughout the year.

For 40 portions

Ingredients

For the dough (about 40 hearts depending on the size of the cutter):

Cream:

Chocolate glaze:

Preparation procedure

  • Preparing the dough Quickly process the flour, butter, powdered sugar, egg and lemon zest into a smooth dough. Wrap in cling film and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This helps the dough hold its shape better and prevents it from spreading during baking.
  • Shaping and baking Roll the rested dough out into a sheet about 3 mm thick. Cut out hearts or other shapes, transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 160 °C for about 10 minutes. Watch the color – the dough should remain pale and only lightly brown at the edges. Let cool completely.
  • Margot cream Beat the butter with powdered sugar until fluffy. Add the rum and then gently fold in the grated Margot. The cream should be smooth, easily spreadable and stable.
  • Assembling the cookies Spread the cream on the bottom halves of the hearts and top with the second half. If you want a stronger flavor, you can also add a thin layer of rum syrup between the cream layers (optional).
  • Chocolate glaze Melt the dark chocolate, fat and Ledové kaštany in a water bath. Stir until smooth. Dip or drizzle the cookies and, to taste, decorate with grated Margot, white chocolate or chopped nuts.

Total preparation time

  • dough preparation: 15 minutes

  • resting: 60 minutes

  • baking: 10 minutes

  • preparing the cream and assembling: 20–30 minutes

    Total: approx. 1 hour 50 minutes

Number of servings

Approximately 40 pieces depending on the size of the cutter.

Final recommendation

Margot hearts are an excellent choice for anyone looking for cookies with an original taste and strong aroma. Thanks to the buttery base they soften nicely already within a few days after assembling. If you prepare the dough in advance, you can spread the baking over stages and have the work done without stress. The Ledové kaštany glaze gives the cookies a unique flavor and appearance that really stands out on the table. The recipe is tested, stable and reliable – ideal for homemade cookies and festive platters.
