Equipment: No need for special equipment.
Recipe: 36 Mini cookies.
For the basic dough mixture:
Ingredient | Amount (g / units) |
Softened Unsalted Butter (Room Temperature) | 65g |
White Granulated Sugar | 35g |
Powdered Sugar | 35g |
Salt | 1/8 tsp |
Eggs | 25g (Half medium sized egg) |
Vanilla Extract | 1/2 tsp |
For the dry ingredients and inclusions:
Ingredient | Amount (g / units) |
Cake Flour | 80g |
Almond Meal | 25g |
Baking Powder | 1/2 tsp |
Baking Soda | 1/8 + 1/16 tsps |
Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder | 12g |
Ground Coconut | 35g |
Salt | 1/16 tsp |
Mini Dark Chocolate Chips | 60g |
Preparation instructions:
- In a large bowl, using an electric handheld mixer, on medium speed- cream the softened butter with the sugar and powdered sugar until creamy (2-3 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and the vanilla. Gradually stream the eggs mixture while you keep mixing on medium speed, for 2 more minutes. It is important to scrape the bowl occasionally with a spatula, to ensure even mixing.
- Sift the dry ingredients over the butter mixture: flour, almond meal, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cocoa and coconut, and incorporate with cutting like motions until 80% combined.
- Add in the chocolate chips and fold until fully combined.
- Pre-heat your oven to 170C (fan mode on), placing a baking rack at the middle shelf inside the oven.
- Shape the dough into small, 10g dough balls (takes about 10 minutes to complete this task), and evenly space them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Put the cookies in the oven and decrease the temperature to 160C (fan mode on). Bake for 13-14 minutes.
- Cool down completely before storing.
