      Heat the milk to about 25 °C. Mix all the ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, in a mixing bowl fitted with a dough hook until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add the chocolate chips during the last few minutes.

      Let it rise for at least 30 minutes.

      Divide the dough into 6 pieces and roll them out. Cover with a dish towel and let them rise for about 30 minutes.

      Preheat the oven to 230 °C. Brush with a beaten egg mixed with a pinch of salt. Sprinkle with a little pearl sugar. Bake for about 12–15 minutes. Let cool slightly before cutting and breaking into pieces. Lower the oven temperature to about 150 °C and bake the cookies until golden brown for 15–20 minutes; open the oven door and let the cookies dry out in the residual heat.

    Tip!

    • You can also mix some nuts into the dough—that will make the cookies “extra delicious”!
