- 2 eggs' worth Egg white
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams + 30 grams Powdered sugar
- 5 grams Cocoa powder
- 15 grams Katakuriko
- 1 chopped almonds, crushed walnuts, etc. Toppings of your choice
- 1 If you are sandwiching ganache with the cookies, I recommend this recipe
- Combine the dry ingredients marked with (only 50 g of the powdered sugar) using a whisk, then sift.
- Sift the other 30 g of the powdered sugar in a separate bowl.
- Whip the egg whites in a bowl with an electric mixer.
- When the foam starts to become smooth, add the 30 g powdered sugar and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Use a whisk and mix lightly to smooth out the bubbles.
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Sift the Step 1 dry ingredients into the Step 3 meringue in 3 batches.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold by lifting the batter from the bottom of the bowl.
- Fold while taking care not to deflate the foam.
- Attach a 1 cm round tip to a pastry bag and fill it with the batter.
- Line an oven sheet with parchment paper.
- Pipe out the batter by overlapping it back and forth as shown until the cookies are 1.5 cm wide, 5 cm long and 1 cm thick.
- Or, pipe them into whatever shape you like.
- If you are topping the cookies with nuts, do it now.
- If you are going to sandwich ganache between the cookies, I suggest piping them into 2-2.5 cm round cookies.
- They'll turn out more appetizing that way.
- Bake for about 20 minutes at 180C and they're done.
- Take them out and let cool for 1 minute, then remove them from the baking sheet.
- If you leave them there for too long, they will start to curl back.
- These are very tasty with a light and airy texture.
- I like topping them with chopped almonds.
- If you are going to sandwich ganache, the amount shown in this picture is best.
- It'll spill out if you put on too much.
- I recommend using ai's recipe for the ganache.
- It's tasty and also adheres well.
- These cookies draw moisture easily, so if you are storing them or using them as gifts, pack them with desiccants.
