Baisers des dames biscuits

Baisers des dames a IG bas   -   Low GI Ladie’s Kisses
 Deliciously nutty, easy to make and perfect for a quick homemade treat, this originally Italian dessert comes from the shape of the biscuits which recalls
a kissing pair of lips.
​ 
Ingredients
125g softened butter
50g coconut sugar
Vanilla flavouring to taste
75g ground almonds
75g ground hazelnuts
125g plain or spelt flour
80/100g 70% dark chocolate
 
Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C
2. Cut the butter into pieces.
3. Add the vanilla, ground almonds and ground hazelnuts.
4. Mix again.
5. Add the flour and mix until you have a smooth texture.
6. Then form balls of about 10g.
7. The biscuits have to be flat on one side, so just put your finger over them and press a little bit.
8. Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper, spacing them apart.
9. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes on the fan setting – no longer! (I left my first batch in for 15 minutes and found that they were overcooked).
10. Keep a close eye on them while baking.
11. Leave to cool completely before removing them from the tray. They will be soft when they come out of the oven, which is normal.
12. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a bain-marie, then leave it to cool to room temperature, otherwise it will be too runny.
13. Stick the biscuits together with ½ teaspoon of chocolate.

You can keep them for a week in a closed tin.
Enjoy with tea or coffee, or even a little rum... Mine were a little ‘étouffé Chrétien’ as we say in France, ‘muffle Christians :)’ However, they were a little overcooked.
Keep a close eye on the baking time.
