Piped chocolate cookies
These chocolate cookies are really easy and go perfectly with coffee or tea. They can be moulded in different shapes and sizes, decorated with melted chocolate, sprinkles or stuck two together with jam or hazelnut spread without added sugar.
INGREDIENTS
- 150 g softened butter
- 2 eggs
- 70 g erythritol with stevia powdered Live & love
- 90 g defatted Live & love almond flour
- 30 g dark cocoa Live & love
- 100 g finely ground walnuts or hazelnuts
- Vanilla flavouring or half a vanilla pod
- 1 tbsp rum
- 2 pinches of salt
Chocolate if desired for decoration.
METHOD
Soften the butter, cut it into cubes and mix it with the powdered sweetener (erythritol with stevia powder) until completely fluffy. To achieve this, mix for at least 10-15 minutes. If you have a food processor, leave it on the highest speed while you prepare the other ingredients, baking tray, piping bag, etc….
Once the butter and sweetener are nicely fluffy, add the eggs and then gently fold in the remaining dry ingredients and additives (rum, vanilla, salt).
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees.
Transfer the mixture into a piping bag and choose an open rosette as the nozzle.
Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake at 170 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. Take care not to burn the cookies, as they will then turn bitter. The baking time depends on the size and thickness of the biscuits.
Once the cookies are baked, leave them in the oven for a while before turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
The cooled cookies can be decorated with chocolate icing and sprinkled with ground hazelnuts, walnuts, coconut, etc..
MY TIPS
- If you want crisp, crunchy biscuits, you can leave them on a wire rack in a warm oven to cool completely. They can also be left to air overnight on the kitchen counter. If you have a fruit dehydrator, you can use it for a short time to dry the biscuits to a degree of tenderness that suits you.
- This recipe also works well with egg whites only. In this case, use 3-4 egg whites.
- An open piping bag with large enough slits works best for spraying, as the mixture also contains ground nuts. They can also be piped with a plain round piping nozzle without a pattern.
- If the erythritol with stevia is replaced by ordinary erythritol, the amount of sweetener must be adjusted or increased accordingly. Erythritol with stevia is approx. 25% sweeter than regular erythritol. Live & love brand Erythritol with stevia does not have a ‘cold’ taste, which is not excluded with other brands of regular Erythritol. The recipe uses Live & love brand defatted almond flour, which is light and finely ground and does not taste like marzipan.
