Chocolate macaroons
By AlexHayes
Since I learned West Point, I have made the least biscuits because they contain a lot of butter and sugar, and biscuits seem to be the easiest to succeed. Generally, friends who are just starting out with West Point may wish to start with cookies. This is the process that makes us the easiest to gain happiness during baking. I bought almond powder and almond slices in the group with my classmates. How to preserve these raw materials this summer? In addition to consumption, they are refrigerated in the refrigerator. I did not add much butter in this cookie, but increased the amount of powder. In terms of sweetness, if you like sweetness, you can increase it slightly by about 5G. But high sugar and high oil have always been something I dislike. The almond slices and powder here are not the ones we buy in our pharmacy. They are northern almonds, which are medicinal. The almond slices and almond powder used here are imported from the United States. Friends who don't have cocoa powder can use black Qiao 15G instead. If it is light cocoa powder, increase the amount of cocoa powder to 12G. Baking time The original recipe is to bake at 170 degrees for 20 minutes. I found it a bit too much. You can operate according to the actual temperature of your oven. In the last few minutes, pay attention to observing next to the oven, otherwise it will easily burn.

After letting classmates in the group taste these cookies, they said the texture was delicate. Adding almond powder inadvertently enhanced the flavor even further. However, whether the texture is fine mainly depends on how well the butter is beaten. Generally, beat the butter until it turns white, becomes fluffy, and is filled with air before adding the flour; cookies made this way generally turn out very well. Also, it is better to use a spatula when mixing the flour.
