RON'S GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE MERINGUE COOKIES

Provided by Ron Ben-Israel

Time 45m

Yield approximately 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, broken into pieces for melting, plus 2 ounces chopped
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt
1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice
4 large egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Melt the 12 ounces of bittersweet chocolate pieces in a microwave-safe dish or over a gently simmering double-boiler. Let cool but not harden. Add the vanilla.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place the salt and vinegar (or lemon juice) in a clean mixer bowl for a stand mixer. Use a paper towel to wipe off any possible grease. Use the paper towel to wipe the blades of the whisk attachment as well. Do not rinse. This procedure will ensure that the egg whites will whip to their full potential.
  • Beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase the speed to high. Slowly add the sugar in a steady stream and continue beating until stiff peaks form, 4 to 5 minutes. (The bowl can be turned upside down without the meringue falling out.) Add a third of the meringue to the melted chocolate and mix well to lighten. Gently but thoroughly fold the melted chocolate into the meringue, and then fold in the remaining two ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate and the walnuts.
  • Fill a large resealable plastic bag with the meringue and snip off the bottom corner, or use a pastry bag. Pipe the meringue into 1 1/2-inch rounds 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Immediately place in the oven and bake about 10 minutes. The cookies will develop a shiny crust but will still be gooey inside.
  • Let rest on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before removing to a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before you start whisking them. This will help them reach their full volume.
  • Whip the egg whites until they are stiff and glossy. This will help the macarons hold their shape.
  • Add the sugar gradually to the egg whites while whisking constantly. This will help prevent the egg whites from becoming grainy.
  • Fold in the almond flour and cocoa powder gently until the batter is just combined. Overmixing will make the macarons tough.
  • Pipe the batter onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each macaron.
  • Tap the baking sheet firmly on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
  • Let the macarons rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking. This will help them develop a skin, which will prevent them from cracking in the oven.
  • Bake the macarons in a preheated oven at 325°F for 15-20 minutes, or until they are set and the tops are matte.
  • Let the macarons cool completely before filling them.
