Thank you to Claire for submitting this recipe. These are luscious biscuits which just so happen to be dairy and gluten free. But don't let the healthy image deter you, they are incredibly delicious and a very easy to make.
Claire's luscious biscuits
Yield
20
Preparation time
10 minutes preparation 15 minutes baking time
Ingredients
180g ground almonds 120g caster sugar 3 drops almond essence Pinch of salt 60g dried cranberries, chopped 2 egg whites 2 tsp honey icing sugar
Directions
Preheat oven 170 C
Mix the ground almonds, sugar and chopped dried cranberries. In a clean bowl beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt and the honey until you get a soft meringue. Gently fold in the dry ingredients and add the almond essence to form a soft paste. Dust your hands with icing sugar and form about 20 small balls of dough. Place these on a greased baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes until crisp and golden on the outside. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack and then place in an airtight tin. The biscuits will have a crisp outer shell and a chewy soft centre.
Notes
The first time I made these I decided to forgo the icing sugar. This resulted in moist chewy biscuits which were irresistable. Then, just to make life more interesting, I decided to half dip the biscuits in melted dark chocolate. A very interesting and tasty experiment!
