Ingredients

  • 2.3 cups confectioners' sugar 
  •  egg whites at room temperature
  • ounces ground almonds 
  • pound chocolate 
  • 1.3 cups sugar white

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • baking paper
  • oven
  • whisk
  • wire rack
  • double boiler
  • spatula

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line 4 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy and soft peaks form. Gradually add white sugar, continuing to beat until mixture holds stiff peaks, about 5 minutes. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
  3. Mix ground almonds and confectioners' sugar together in a separate bowl; fold into egg white mixture.
  4. Transfer mixture to a piping bag; pipe mixture into 2-inch long by 1/2-inch thick mounds onto the prepared baking sheets.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are dry and lightly golden brown, about 45 minutes.
  6. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching.
  8. Dip each cookie in the melted chocolate using a fork until cookie is completely coated. Shake off excess chocolate. Arrange cookies on the parchment-lined baking sheets; refrigerate until set.
