INGREDIENTS

  • Cookie Base

    • ⅔ cup fine ground almond flour (scant measure)
    • ⅔ cup confectioners' sugar (scant measure)
    • 1 tablespoon powdered orange food coloring
    • 🥚 2 medium egg whites, at room temperature
    • 🧂 1 pinch cream of tartar
    • ¼ cup superfine sugar
  • Filling

    • 6 ounces mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
    • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
    • 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
    • 1 teaspoon powdered black food coloring

STEPS

1

Line 2 baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.

2

Sift almond flour and confectioners' sugar into a bowl. Sift again into a second bowl, adding powdered orange food coloring. Whisk well and set aside.

3

Place egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk on medium speed until they begin to foam. Add cream of tartar and continue whisking until creamy. Increase speed to medium-high, adding superfine sugar gradually, until stiff peaks form.

4

Fold 1/3 of the almond flour mixture into the egg whites gently with a rubber spatula. Repeat with the remaining flour mixture without overmixing. Pour batter into a piping bag or resealable plastic bag.

5

Pipe 32 small circles onto prepared baking sheets and lightly rap to release air bubbles.

6

Allow cookies to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.

7

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and bake one tray of cookies until risen with firm bottoms, 12 to 15 minutes per batch.

8

Mix mascarpone cheese, caramel sauce, confectioners' sugar, and black food coloring until fluffy. Refrigerate filling until needed.

9

After cooling, pipe filling onto one cookie base and top with another to create sandwiches. Decorate the tops if desired.
