Dark Chocolate Palmiers

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cocoa powder.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, egg, and salt.

   Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

4. 4

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

5. 5

   Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3mm and cut into rectangles, approximately 5cm x 7cm.

6. 6

   Place the rectangles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2cm of space between each.

7. 7

   Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

8. 8

   Remove the palmiers from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.

   Tip: This will help them retain their shape.

9. 9

   Transfer the palmiers to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. 10

    Once cool, melt the dark chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval.

11. 11

    Dip each palmier into the melted chocolate, coating about 2/3 of the rectangle.

    Tip: Tap off any excess chocolate by gently tapping the fork against the side of the bowl.

12. 12

    Sprinkle the confectioners' sugar over the chocolate-coated palmiers.
