- Preparation: 60 min
- Cooking: 25 min
- Makes: 1 serving (73.3 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free

Ingredients
- 15 g Egg whites
- 18 g Sugar
- 12 g Ground almonds
- 10 g Butter, soft
- 8 g Icing sugar
- 0.3 g Vanilla extract
- 10 g Dark chocolate
Method
- Heat the oven to 150 °C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks, add the sugar a spoonful at a time and whisk until stiff and glossy, then gently fold in the ground almonds.
- Spoon the meringue into a piping bag with a 1 cm plain nozzle and pipe sticks about 7 cm long, a little apart, onto the paper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until dry, crisp and lightly golden. Leave to cool on the tray, then lift them off carefully.
- Beat the butter with the icing sugar and vanilla until pale and smooth. Spread a little on the flat side of half the sticks and press the other sticks on top.
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Dip both ends of each filled cookie in it and lay them on baking paper.
- Leave for 30 minutes, until the chocolate has set. Keep them in a tin in a cool place.
