Now that we have our ingredients, let’s bring these sugary dreams to life!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Your cookies will thank you for this warm welcome!

- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy, like a cozy cloud!
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly. This is where the magic begins!
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until combined. Don’t worry if it looks a bit crumbly; we’re just getting started!
- Divide the dough in half. To one half, add cocoa powder and mix well. You now have your chocolate dough!
- Roll out the chocolate and vanilla doughs and layer them together. Cut them into fun shapes if you’re feeling adventurous!
- Place the shaped cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make a little dent in the center of each cookie to hold that luscious Yema filling.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until you see the edges turning golden. They should be nice and soft!
- Let them cool a bit, then fill those pretty centers with your Yema filling. Dessert is served!
