- All-purpose flour

- 1container de Heavy cream (whole container)

Instructions
Pulse the dry cookies in a food processor (or blender) until you get a very fine crumb and transfer to another bowl.
Add the cocoa powder and granulated sugar to the cookie crumbs and mix well.
Gradually add the melted butter or margarine and the milk, mixing first with a spoon and then kneading with your hands until a moist dough forms.
Dica: The amount of milk added may vary; adjust until you reach the desired consistency.
Flatten the dough onto plastic wrap, forming a log, and wrap tightly, sealing the ends to firm it up.
Dica: Wrap tightly to ensure it becomes nicely round and firm.
Place the wrapped dough in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours, or until it is very firm.
Dica: The firmer it is, the easier it will be to slice.
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate for the coating in the microwave, heating it in 30-second intervals.
Remove the dough from the freezer, slice it, and dip each slice halfway into the melted chocolate.
Dica: Let any excess chocolate drip off.
Place the cookies on a surface lined with parchment paper, sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles on top, and allow them to set.
For the second recipe, mix the all-purpose flour with the granulated sugar.
Cut in the cold, cubed butter or margarine using your fingertips, squeezing until you achieve a buttery dough that doesn't stick to your hands.
Dica: The warmth of your hands will help bring the dough together.
Shape the dough into small balls (about 10g each) and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat, pressing a small square of guava paste into the center of each one.
Dica: Press the guava paste lightly so it fits snugly.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180ºC) for about 15 to 20 minutes, observing that the base becomes lightly golden while the top remains pale.
Dica: Do not let the tops brown too much.
After baking, roll the warm cookies in granulated sugar to create a protective layer.
Dica: The sugar helps prevent the cookies from sticking together.
Let the cookies cool on a wire rack or mesh screen to prevent moisture from accumulating on the bottom.
Dica: If you don't have a cooling rack, use your oven rack.
For the third recipe, place the entire container of heavy cream, granulated sugar, softened butter, and cornstarch into a bowl.
Dica: The butter should be at room temperature (softened).
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, initially mixing with a spoon and then pressing with the back of the spoon, with no added leavening agent, until the dough is uniform and no longer sticks to your hands.
Dica: The ideal consistency is a very moist dough that doesn't stick.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out small portions of the dough, shaping them as desired (they can be little balls), and mark the surface with a fork.
Dica: No need to grease the baking sheet, just flour it lightly.
Arrange the cookies side-by-side on a lightly floured baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180ºC) for approximately 20 minutes, until lightly golden only on the bottom,
Dica: These cookies do not rise much, but leave a little space between them.
Once removed from the oven, place the cookies on a wire rack to cool and dry completely, which prevents dampness on the bottom.
Dica: Let them cool completely before storing.
