Ingredients
25gramsunsweetened cocoa powderI used Rodelle
300gramsicing sugar
20gramscornstarch
150gramsfinely ground almonds
150gramsfinely ground hazelnuts
3gramssalt
135gramsegg whitesapproximately 4 large eggs, or use liquid egg whites
5gramsamaretto or pure almond extract
ANicing sugar for dusting
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Line two baking trays with silpat or parchment.
Use a sieve to sift cocoa powder, icing sugar, and cornstarch together into a large bowl.
Add the ground nuts and salt.
Stir the amaretto or extract into the egg whites. Add most of the egg white mixture to the dry ingredients, until a thick, firm batter is formed. If the batter is too dry, continue to add the remaining egg whites.
Dip a small ice cream scoop into the bowl of icing sugar reserved for decorating and then scoop the batter onto the lined baking sheets. This will cover the dough in the sugar to create that snow-capped finish to your cookies. It also helps prevent the batter from sticking to the ice cream scoop!
