Directions
Chocolate Sparkle Cookies, This recipe is from the executive pastry chef, Thomas Haas, of the Senses Bakery in Vancouver The Vancouver Sun proclaimed it the best cookie in the world I just baked it this morning and had it with my morning coffee it’s like heaven tastes like a baked truffle! Cooking time is chilling time , I found another recipe for Chocolate Sparkle cookies from Thomas Haas which called for 1 T honey to be added at the same time as the 1/3 c sugar It also called for 2 t cocoa powder and a pinch of salt to be added to the ground almonds All other ingredients and measurements are the same It did state that 325F was for a convection oven; bake at 375F if using a conventional oven , I made these and the other one that the other reviewer liked better I prefer this recipe because of the sugar on the outside I made some with white sparkling sugar sprinkles and some with just granulated sugar The sugar gives them a unique texture that I think makes this cookie different from other chocolate cookies Be sure to break any lumps in the almond meal before folding it into the chocolate Freezes well
