Direction
2
Whisk in vanilla. Add almond flour and salt and stir. Stir in egg white after 5 minutes of cooling. Wait 10 minutes to thicken the dough.
3
Place oven racks in the upper and bottom thirds. Start with a 350-degree oven. Parchment two baking sheets. If dough can be rolled into balls, thin with 1 tablespoon water.
4
The dough should be thinner and resemble my photo. Each 1 teaspoon of dough should be 3 inches apart on the baking pan. Bake until rims are golden brown, 7-9 minutes. Butter bubbling around cookies is ok.
5
After 5 minutes on the baking sheet, move the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooking. Make filling. Melt chocolate and cream in microwave-safe basin, stirring every 45 seconds.
6
Add vanilla and coffee powder. Cool 10 minutes until slightly thickened and spreadable. Put chocolate filling or melted milk chocolate between each cookie. Cookies can last 4 days in an airtight container.
