INGREDIENTS (serving around 12 cookies)

160 g stale bread
80 g brown sugar
70 g butter (1/2 salted)
1 egg
1 dash of liquid vanilla extract
1/2 sachet of baking powder
100 g crushed chocolate (or chocolate chips)
1 tbsp flour
Optional but delicious: 1 tbsp almond powder

Preheat oven at 180°C (356°F)

Prepare the dough.

Crumble the stale bread into small pieces and mix it into fine breadcrumbs.
Mix the butter and the sugar. Beat with an electric whisk. While beating, add the egg and vanilla extract. Finally, add the breadcrumbs and baking powder. Mix well, if the dough is too sticky then add some flour or the optional almond powder.
Add the crushed chocolate (or the chocolate chips) and mix.
On parchment paper, place small dough balls of about 3-4 cm and flatten to form cookies.

Bake.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes at 180°C (356°F) or thermostat 6. They must be removed as soon as the contours start to brown. When removed from the oven, the cookies are friable and brittle. Let them cool so that they can harden before tasting.
