Brownie cookie preparation :
- Preheat oven to 150° fan-assisted.
- Start by melting the chocolate (broken into small pieces) and butter together in a Bain-Marie :
- In the meantime, mix the sugar and eggs without blanching.
- Add the chocolate/butter mixture
- Pour in the sifted flour, and mix well with a Maryse*.
Add the walnuts and mix again:
- Place your unbuttered rectangle on parchment paper, which in turn is placed on a metal plate.
- Then pour in the dough.
- Bake for 15 minutes
Take the cookie out, it should be fairly soft. Remove the rectangle, then turn out onto a wire rack with parchment paper.
Preparation Chocolate spoon cookies :
- Using a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until stiff. As soon as they begin to foam, fold in half the sugar. As soon as the whites become "bird's beak", add the remaining sugar. Finish by adding the yolks. Leave to beat for a further 30sec.
- Fold in the sifted flour and cocoa with a Maryse*.
- Using a metal spatula, arrange on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
