Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 egg whites at room temperature
- 4 1/2 oz chopped almonds
- 4 1/2 oz chopped nuts can use the nut or nuts they want the important thing is that together they add 250 grams
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 orange its zest
- 6 oz chopped milk chocolate
Equipment
- wax paper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 °F
- Line the baking trays with butter paper. Reserve.
- With the help of a hand whisk in a bowl mix the egg whites with sugar, honey and orange zest (it is just mixing, not beating) until a homogeneous mixture is obtained, add the nuts and mix well.
- Put a tablespoon of mixture on the butter paper, spread it forming a circle. Repeat taking care to leave space between the cookies as they will stretch in the oven.
- Put in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. If they were very disassembled after the oven we can shape them with the help of a glass. Let cool COMPLETELY before removing from the paper as they are very fragile.
- Melt the chocolate in a water bath and cover one of the sides of the cookie with chocolate, let it harden (in the refrigerator it is faster) and enjoy!
