Method

  • Put the saucepan on a medium – high heat and add the butter to the base of the pan.
  • Let the butter melt and come to the boil.
  • At this point there should be white dots in the butter.

  • Pour in the almond flour, tapioca starch and baking powder and fold these ingredients in.
  • Chop the last chocolate bar into small pieces and fold this into the cookie batter.
  • Scoop out a piece of the cookie batter and place it on the pre-lined baking tray.
  • Store in the fridge for 25 – 30 minutes.
  • While the cookies are in the fridge preheat the oven to 180°C or gas mark 5.
  • Once the oven has preheated remove the tray from the fridge and place it into the oven.
  • Bake for 12 – 15 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.
