Preheat
your oven to 170°C.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
Don’t let them brown too much: they should stay pale to stay melting!

Let cool completely so that the cookies harden slightly on the outside
while remaining soft on the inside.
You can flavor the vanilla paste with lemon zest, or replace the cocoa with melted chocolate
for even more flavor.
