Servings: 45 cookies
Calories: 57kcal
Ingredients
- 200 grams slivered almonds
- 115 grams icing sugar
- 115 grams dark chocolate (70 % cocoa content) chopped
- 50 grams granulated sugar plus ½ cup (100 grams) extra for coating
- 18 grams Cacao Barry extra brute cocoa powder
- 5 mL ground cinnamon
- 1.25 mL Diamond Crystal fine kosher salt
- 2 large egg white(s)
- 5 mL pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the almonds and icing sugar. Process for 1 minute. Add the chopped chocolate, 50 grams of sugar, the cocoa, cinnamon, and salt, and process together for another minute. Add the egg whites and the vanilla and pulse to form a dough.
- Transfer dough to a parchment-lined surface, then knead it together to form a smooth disk. Let the dough sit for 10 minutes uncovered. Top with a second piece of parchment and roll out the dough to ¼ inch thickness.
- Slide parchment onto a cutting board or sheet pan and chill cookie dough 10 to 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF and line two baking sheets with parchment. Cut out stars (with a 2-inch cookie cutter), and toss stars in granulated sugar before placing on baking sheet. Bake 1 sheet at a time for about 13 to 15 minutes. The stars will have crackled a little. Let cool before transferring to a wire rack. You can reroll dough scraps and cut out and bake more stars until you run out of dough.
Notes
- This recipe calls for Diamond Crystal fine Kosher salt. If using regular table salt, add half the amount or the recipe may be too salty!
