For the almond cookies:
For the chocolate cream:
Deliciously buttery almond cookies sandwiched together with a rich, smooth chocolate cream. Made with ground almonds and Gellwe Almond Flavouring, these delicate treats have a wonderful nutty flavour and a soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture. Perfect for afternoon tea, family gatherings or as an elegant homemade sweet treat.
Prepare the dough. Place the flour, ground almonds, chopped butter, icing sugar, egg and almond flavouring in a bowl. Mix everything together until smooth, then refrigerate for 1 hour.
Line a flat baking tray with baking parchment. Shape the dough into balls approximately the size of a small walnut and arrange them on the tray, leaving about 4 cm between each one. Place in an oven preheated to 180°C and bake for approximately 15 minutes.
Prepare the chocolate cream. Heat the cream in a saucepan, add the chocolate broken into pieces and stir until melted. Remove from the heat and leave to cool. Mix the cooled chocolate cream with the softened butter, then refrigerate briefly.
Once the cream has thickened, spread it onto the cookies and sandwich them together in pairs.
