Directions
1. Step
In a mixing bowl, combine 90 g unsalted butter, 20 g dark chocolate, and 60 g powdered sugar. Mix well. Add 1 egg yolk + egg white (30 g total), then incorporate 120 g rice flour (or cake flour), 20 g finely ground almonds, and 8 g cocoa powder. Mix until a smooth dough forms. Roll out the dough between two sheets of plastic wrap and let it rest for 1 hour in the refrigerator. After chilling, cut the dough into 6.6 cm pieces and place them on a baking sheet. Bake at 170°C (338°F) for 10 minutes.
2. Step
In a pan, heat 50 g cane sugar, 30 g unsalted butter, and 50 ml heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Add 50 g almond flakes and mix well. Spoon the caramel almond mixture over the partially baked cookies.
3. Step
Bake again at 170°C (338°F) for 10 minutes, until golden and set. Once cooled, drizzle with melted sweet chocolate for a finishing touch.
