ReceptnaptárChocolate cookies
Chocolate biscuits belong to the old meringue-dough small bakes: rolled-out, cut-out small biscuits of egg white, sugar, chocolate and hazelnuts, crisp outside and chewy inside. They have few ingredients and are a great way to use up leftover egg white.

Ingredients
Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Preheat the oven to 150°C (140°C if fan-assisted) and line the tray with baking paper.
- Whisk the egg white until stiff, adding the icing sugar as you go, until you have a glossy, dense meringue.
- Gently fold in the grated chocolate and the ground hazelnuts. You should get a firm but rollable dough; if it is too soft, add a little more ground hazelnuts.
- Roll the dough out on a board dusted with icing sugar, or between baking paper, to 1-1.5 cm thick and cut into shapes (e.g. heart, star, circle).
- Place on the tray lined with baking paper and bake at 150°C for 15-18 minutes, until firm on the outside but still slightly soft inside.
- Cool on a rack and store in an airtight container.

Tips
- Roll the dough out with icing sugar, not flour, because flour turns the biscuit grey.
- Do not melt the chocolate, grate it and fold it in.
- Bake briefly so that the inside stays soft.
- Walnuts or almonds work instead of hazelnuts.
- In an airtight container they keep for 1 week.
