Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 ml aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 100 g all-purpose flour
- 100 g ground almonds
- 50 g icing sugar
- 150 g vegan chocolate
- 50 g slivered almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a clean bowl, whisk the aquafaba with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to whisk until the mixture becomes glossy and firm.
Gently fold in the almond extract.
In a separate bowl, sift the all-purpose flour and icing sugar together. Add the ground almonds and mix well.
Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the aquafaba mixture a little at a time, ensuring you keep the mixture light and airy.
Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a plain round nozzle.
Pipe strips of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, approximately 8-10 cm (3-4 inches) long.
Carefully place a few slivered almonds on top of each strip.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.
Melt the vegan chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
Once the cookies are cooled, dip each end into the melted chocolate and place on a wire rack to set.
Allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
