Time 2h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 egg whites
1 ¾ cups white sugar
5 ¼ cups almond meal
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
zest from 1 lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ½ tablespoons butter
1 ¼ cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Beat egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl. Gradually add the white sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Fold in the almond meal, cinnamon, lemon zest, and vanilla.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the meringue to a piping bag with a large plain tip (or a gallon-sized plastic zipper bag with the corner snipped off). Pipe the meringue into ladyfingers about 3 inches long. Set the pan aside and let the meringues dry at room temperature for 2 hours.
  • Preheat an oven to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C).
  • Bake the cookies on the middle oven rack until dried but not yet brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow them to cool completely.
  • Make the filling by creaming the butter and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Stir in the vanilla. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over just-barely simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching.
  • To assemble the cookies, spread buttercream on the back of a cookie, sandwich it together with another cookie, and dip both ends in the melted chocolate. Let the dipped cookies dry on waxed paper or parchment.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Bokkenpootjes turned out dry and tough. I think I might have overcooked them.

These were easy to make and turned out great. I used a store-bought puff pastry dough and it worked perfectly.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of goat meat. But I was pleasantly surprised! The Bokkenpootjes were very flavorful and the goat meat was not gamey at all.
