By á-50835
Ingredients

Preparation
Step 1
Mix the first 5 ingredients together (I like to sift the flour so there are no lumps)
Add the heavy cream to the dry ingredients and combine well just until a large dough ball forms. Divide the ball into two smaller balls and then (on a well floured counter with well floured hands) flatten the balls into discs. Cut up the discs into 8 wedges like pizza slices.
Arrange the wedges on a parchment lined baking sheet and sprinkle with sugar on top. Place in refrigerator for 5 minutes just before baking- this helps keep their shape.
Bake at 400 degrees for approx. 12 minutes until lightly browned.
Variations: add blueberries, cranberries or strawberries in place of chocolate.
