• tempo total: 25 minutes

Ingredientes

1 1/2 cup Almond Flour (note 1)

1/2 cup Powdered Sugar (note 2)

2 tablespoons Water

1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract (note 3)

3 tablespoons Sliced Almonds

1/3 cup Dark Chocolate Chips (note 4)

1 teaspoon Coconut Oil (note 5)

Instruções

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Grease with cooking oil spray. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl or in a food processor, add the almond flour, water, powdered sugar, and almond extract.

Use a rubber spatula to stir the ingredients together and form a sticky almond marzipan paste. I like to use my hands to squeeze the dough. It's messy because the dough is very sticky but that's what you want. If too dry, add a little extra water, 1 teaspoon at a time. If too liquid, add extra almond flour. It should form a sticky almond paste.

Generously oil your hand, grab a tablespoon of dough, and roll it into a small cylinder of about 1.5 inches (4cm), then bend it into a horn shape.

Place each horn on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a thumb of space between each. Repeat until no more dough left.

Press some sliced almonds on the top center of the horn cookies.

Bake the cookies on the center rack of the oven for 12-13 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) until lightly golden brown on the edges. They should stay quite pale to be soft and chewy cookies.

Let the cookies cool down at room temperature for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then cool down on a wire rack for 30 minutes.

If you want to decorate the edges, melt 1/3 cup of dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second bursts until fully melted and the chocolate is shiny.

Dip each cookie end into the melted chocolate. Make sure you wait for a few seconds above the bowl to let the excess melted chocolate drip down the bowl.

Place the dipped cookies on a plate covered with parchment paper and freeze them for 10 minutes to quickly set and harden the chocolate shell.
