My Swedish mother's recipe is not easy, but the results are worth the effort! A delicate, almond and meringue base layer is topped with chocolate buttercream, then glazed with dark chocolate. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.

Time 1h37m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 egg whites
1 cup white sugar
1 cup blanched slivered almonds, finely ground
¾ cup bread crumbs
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pinch salt, or to taste
5 ounces semisweet chocolate chunks
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until medium peaks form. Sprinkle in white sugar with mixer running; beat until thoroughly combined. Fold in ground almonds and bread crumbs until evenly combined. Let meringue batter rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Stir confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder together in a small bowl.
  • Beat 1 cup butter in a large bowl until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar mixture in 2 to 3 additions, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract and salt until combined.
  • Scoop meringue batter onto baking sheets in 2-tablespoon portions.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until firm but not browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 10 minutes.
  • Flip each meringue cookie over; frost with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture. Arrange on a flat plate or baking sheet.
  • Freeze meringue cookies until firm, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Combine semisweet chocolate and 6 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until glaze is smooth.
  • Dip each cookie into the glaze, frosted-side down, until completely coated. Refrigerate or freeze until set.

These cookies were okay. They weren't as good as I was hoping, but they weren't bad either.

Not a fan of these cookies. The meringue was too sweet and the cookie base was too dry.

These cookies were so easy to make and they turned out perfectly! I used dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate and they were still delicious.

These cookies are heavenly! The chocolate meringue is light and fluffy, and the cookie base is perfectly crisp. I will definitely be making these again soon.
