Directions

1. Step

In a mixing bowl, combine 150 g butter, 150 g sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Once well-mixed, add 1 egg and mix again. Add 150 g yogurt and mix thoroughly. Stir in 1 tsp baking powder and 400 g flour (+ 1 tbsp). Mix well until the dough forms. If the dough is sticky, gradually add a little more flour and knead by hand to create a soft dough.

2. Step

Divide the dough into two equal parts. To one part, add 1 tbsp cocoa powder and mix by hand until evenly incorporated.

3. Step

Take the second dough portion and mix in 1 tbsp flour. Break off a small piece of dough, roll it into a ball, and then shape it into a rope. Twist the rope and tie it into a knot. Sprinkle with sugar.

4. Step

Repeat the same process with the cocoa dough: Break off a small piece, roll into a ball, shape it into a rope, twist, and tie it into a knot. Sprinkle with sugar and place on a baking sheet.
