Time 1h37m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 egg whites
1 cup white sugar
1 cup blanched slivered almonds, finely ground
¾ cup bread crumbs
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pinch salt, or to taste
5 ounces semisweet chocolate chunks
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until medium peaks form. Sprinkle in white sugar with mixer running; beat until thoroughly combined. Fold in ground almonds and bread crumbs until evenly combined. Let meringue batter rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Stir confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder together in a small bowl.
  • Beat 1 cup butter in a large bowl until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar mixture in 2 to 3 additions, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract and salt until combined.
  • Scoop meringue batter onto baking sheets in 2-tablespoon portions.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until firm but not browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 10 minutes.
  • Flip each meringue cookie over; frost with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture. Arrange on a flat plate or baking sheet.
  • Freeze meringue cookies until firm, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Combine semisweet chocolate and 6 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until glaze is smooth.
  • Dip each cookie into the glaze, frosted-side down, until completely coated. Refrigerate or freeze until set.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will significantly impact the final product. Use the best chocolate and butter you can afford.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will develop the gluten in the flour, making the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them develop a crisp exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: The cookies will continue to set as they cool, so let them cool completely before serving for the best results.

Conclusion:

Chokladbiskvier, also known as Swedish chocolate meringue cookies, are a delicious and elegant treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer them with a dark chocolate ganache or a simple dusting of powdered sugar, these cookies are sure to please everyone.
