  • While the oven is heated to 180 degrees, you need to whisk the butter with sugar and then add the egg and vanilla extract.

  • Gradually add the sifted flour and finally the nuggets. Divide the final result by two.

  • Make a ball with each half of the dough and flatten until you get a round shape in the dimensions you want.

  • Bake for ten minutes at 180 degrees and leave to cool.
