STEPS
INGREDIENTS
Melt 230 g chocolate + 60g butter and leave to cool
In a mixer using the wire attachment mix 100 g coconut sugar + 2 large eggs (65 g/egg)
The eggs-sugar will become pale and double in size. (Pale brownish because of the coconut sugar) add 2 Tsp vanilla extract
This is organic non- gluten mix
Put all the dry ingredients together. 195g non-gluten mix+1/2 Tsp baking powder+ 1/4 Tsp salt+1.3Tsp xanthan gum
Here are the dry ingredients
Mix with a wire whisk to make sure they are equally distributed
Now the egg- sugar mixture is ready add 2 Tsp of vanilla extract
Add the melted and cooled choclate
Chocolate added. Now add the dry ingredients
Sift them over the egg chocolate...
Fold in
You get a slightly firm batter that you can easily spoon on a tray lined with parchment or cling film. I did something else
I cut pieces cling film and spooned the batter on a scale making each 25g. It is an extra work if you have a special event and you want them to be all the same size. 1 hr/fridge or 30 mins/freezer
After you coat them with icing sugar. The easiest way is to put in your palm some sugar and you coat the cookies pressing slightly. This recipe makes 28-30 cookies. Now I will cook 12.
Cook 10 mins in a preheated oven. Convection bake 190C
Here are the 12 cookies. The rest I refrigerate and cook tomorrow or up to 2 days
