What to get ready

  • Photograph of Almond flour Almond flour 5.6 oz
  • Photograph of Flour Flour 5.6 oz
  • Photograph of Unsalted butter Unsalted butter 5.6 oz
  • Photograph of Sugar Sugar 4.2 oz
  • Photograph of Dark chocolate Dark chocolate 3.5 oz
  • Photograph of Salt Salt 0.1 oz

Method

  1. 1 Grind the almonds with sugar until very fine, then mix with the flour, salt, and diced unsalted butter.
  2. 2 Knead until the dough forms a ball, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the butter to harden.
  3. 3 Roll 16 pills, each weighing 5g, to be perfectly uniform; pills of varying sizes will not fit together in pairs.
  4. 4 Bake at 160 degrees for 15 minutes, until the cake is only lightly golden brown at the bottom. Let it cool completely on the rack.
  5. 5 Melt the chocolate to 45 degrees Celsius, spread a drop on the flat surface of half of the cookies, then flip them over and let them set for 20 minutes.

With an appliance

  • Air fryer 40 min

    Replace step 4: spray a thin layer of oil onto the sides of the mold, use a 175-degree hot air oven for 10 minutes, and rotate the tray at minute 5. The strong airflow shortens the time by about one-third compared to a conventional oven and browns the surface faster.
