Hi CAL friends, I joined you all about a couple of months ago and totally love this space for some amazing recipes that you all share. Thank you so much! I am using this space to share a recipe which is by no means mine but is of a chef who I met at a chocolate Salon in 2010. Rubbing shoulders, shaking hands & talking with some of the renowned chefs was not only an exhilarating feeling but something that I had never experienced before. Watching them cook on TV shows, writing cook books is one thing and sitting in front of them seeing them giving demos, tasting their concoctions is another. I was fortunate enough to be a part of the latter one. The recipe that I am sharing with you comes from Chef, Author & Chocolate Guru, Alice Medrich. She gave a few appetizer & dessert demos, of which I picked the one I liked the best in the dessert category. It’s called Thin Wafer Cookies. These are very thin, crispy cookies dusted with crushed pine nuts, pecans, pistachios and hint of sea salt & Parmesan cheese….yes you read that right… Parmesan! Enjoy baking it and have it with your favorite cup of coffee! PS: Admins, if you think I am violating any rules, please feel free to take this post off of this page. Thank you! :) Mix: 1/2 cup Cocoa powder 1/2 cup Sugar 1+1/2 tbsp All purpose flour pinch of sea salt Egg white from 2 eggs 1/4 cup + 1tbsp (5 tbsp) Unsalted Butter (Melted) For the topping: Finely chopped nuts of your choice (I used pine nuts, pecans & pistachios) tiny bit of finely grated Parmesan cheese pinch of sea salt For baking: Cookie sheet Sil pat or foil butter for coating to prevent the mix from sticking Preheat the oven at 350 degrees Combine the contents of the mix until well blended. Lay a sheet of foil or sil pat on a cookie sheet. Coat the foil or sil pat with little bit of melted butter Spread the mix evenly on the sil pat or foil. Sprinkle with finely chopped nuts, sea salt & Parmesan cheese. Pop the cookie sheet in the oven (3rd rack from top or bottom) Bake for 11-13 mins. Let it cool and break into abstract pieces.
