Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time16 minutes
Total Time31 minutes
Servings: 20 to 24 cookies
Author: Gina @ The Passionate Pantry

Ingredients

  • 200 g raw sugar
  • 100 g Dutch cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt flakes
  • 1 tsp freeze dried coffee

  • 180 g roasted hazelnuts whole / or
  • 180 g toasted mix of pepitas and sunflower seeds for nut free
  • 100 g dark chocolate buds or block chocolate cut into pea size pieces

  • 105 g egg white usually from three egg whites
  • sea salt flakes to sprinkle over cookies before baking optional but I like to do this

Instructions

  • 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.
