TWD - Cocoa Almond Thumbprints


 Today’s second Tuesday with Dorie recipe (because I am apparently a week ahead with Baking with Dorie) is Cocoa Almond Thumbprints.

These biscuits are compromised solely if ground almonds, coconut, sugar and eggwhite. They are meant to be filled with ganache, but I just baked in a chocolate chip instead.

These biscuits are rather messy and crumbly before baking, and you have to be a bit gentle at that stage to stop them from disintegrating. However, they bake up quite firmly, and are quite healthy with only fat from the coconut and almonds.

To see what everyone else made this week and what they thought if it, visit the LYL section of the TWD website.

    1. Thanks Karen. I agree - shaping the crumbly dough was the hardest part.
