Method
The preparation can be summarized in three main steps: first the fats must be mixed with the sugars, then the "powders" must be added and at the end the ingredients that characterize the biscuit (chocolate, raisins, etc.).
​
Start the preparation by beating the eggs with the brown sugar.
​
Add the very soft (but not melted) butter and the essences.
​
When the three ingredients are well blended add the "powders" (flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt).
​
Mix everything until it is possible with a whisk, continue with your hands when the mixture becomes more compact.
​
Finally add the chocolate chips and almonds and mix as little as possible.
Form rough balls (about 25 g) without working them too much and place them in a container to put in the freezer.
​
This step is essential for the success of the biscuits and to prevent them from becoming too flat during cooking.
​
Leave in the freezer (15/20 minutes) until the balls are very firm. Then arrange them in a baking tray with parchment paper.
​
Bake for 15-20 minutes in a convection oven at 180 °. Be careful, cooking can vary a lot from oven to oven.
