Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 160 degrees fan forced, and place rack into middle of oven
- Grease and line two large baking trays with baking paper and put aside
- Have a small jug with water near the baking trays, and place a 1 tbls measure (20g) into it (you will use this to portion the mixture for the baking tray)
- Place sugar, cocoa powder, salt and coffee into TM bowl and mill 10 seconds / speed 9
- Scrape around bowl
- Add whole hazelnuts and chocolate and mix 5 seconds / reverse / speed 4
- NB: if using seeds mix 2 seconds / reverse / speed 4
- Add egg whites and knead 20 seconds … mixture will be sticky
- Remove mixture into a separate bowl for easier handling (see tips for removing mix and cleaning bowl)
- Using the 1 tbls measure, dip it into the jug of water and then straight into the mixture, use a teaspoon to scrape the mix from the measuring spoon onto the baking tray (when you have portioned all the mixture, I go back over the cookies and use the wet teaspoon to tidy up the edges but this is not essential)
- If desired, sprinkle a little sea salt flakes over cookies before baking
- Place trays one at a time into oven and bake 10 minutes, turn tray around and continue for another 6 minutes until cookies are very lightly cracked on top, and the exterior is lightly firm and glossy
- Remove tray from oven and allow cookies to cool for 30 minutes before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely
- Will keep for up to two weeks in a sealed container
Notes
TIPS
To get all the mix out from the TM bowl, Turbo x 1 second to dislodge the mix from the blades, then scrape around the bowl with a flexible silicon spatula dipped in water (the mix is less inclined to stick to a wet spatula).
After removing the mix, clean your TM bowl by filling the bowl with tap water to just above the centre of the blade shaft, add a very light dollop of detergent, then heat 1 minute / 60 degrees / speed 6 ... remove the lid, and pour the water out and your bowl should be relatively clean.
