Preparation :
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and using a Bain Marie, melt the chocolate. Place the melted chocolate into the bowl of your stand mixer, add the cocoa powder and 1/3 of the powdered sugar. Beat them until they are well blended. Add one egg white and beat until it is completely incorporated. Add another 1/3 of the powdered sugar, then add the next egg white. When these are completely incorporated, add the remaining powdered sugar, the last egg white, and the vanilla extract. Beat on a high setting until the batter is smooth, about two minutes. Turn off the mixer and let the batter stand for five minutes. If the dough seems too dry or is too crumbly to hold a shape, add a tablespoon of water or two. If the dough is sticky add a little more powdered sugar. The dough should be a bit more dry than sticky. Divide the dough in half. Place one half between two sheets of parchment paper and carefully roll it out to ¼ of an inch thick. Carefully peel off the parchment from one side and then gently place it back. Flip the dough over and peel off the top piece of parchment. Using a 2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out as many cookies as you can. It is a bit helpful if you have a small amount of powdered sugar handy to dip the cutter into to keep the cutter from sticking to the cookies. Carefully place the cookies on a cookie sheet that has been lined with a sheet of parchment paper. The dough will be soft and you might need to use a spatula to lift and move them. You can re-roll and re-cut any unused dough. Repeat this process with the second half of the dough. Bake for about ten minutes or until the top of the cookie looks dry, no more than 13 minutes. Dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar. |
