Sádláky – Grandma's Lard Cookies

·
70 servings
  1. Mix the ingredients

    Combine the flour with the sugar, then add good-quality cocoa. Mix in the lard along with a pinch of each spice.

  2. Just the right stickiness

    Work the mixture into a dough. If it feels too sticky, add a little more flour. If the colour looks too light, add a bit more cocoa — the dough should be nice and dark. If the dough seems too dry, add a bit more lard.

  3. Shape the balls
