Mini Nests with Almonds (sádlovky)

35 – 40 mini nests

Mini Nests with Almonds cookies (sádlovky) are very delicate but delicious cookies at the same time. They are the perfect combination of cocoa–chocolate flavor and crunchy almond.

Ingredients:

Cookie dough:

1 ½ all-purpose flour
1 ¼ confectioners’ sugar
½ cup + 2 TBSP cocoa powder
2 ¼ sticks of unsalted butter - room temperature (9 OZ)
35 PCS of almonds (adjust if needed)

Tools:

1x Measuring Cups
1x Measuring Spoons
1x Kitchen Mixer with Flat Beater Attachment
1x French Whisk
1x Kitchen Scale
2x Baking Sheet with Parchment Paper or Silicone Matt

Directions:

1. Dough:

1.1. Place into a kitchen mixer with a flat beater attachment:

1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cups of confectioners’ sugar
½ cup + 2 TBSP of cocoa powder
2 ¼ sticks of butter – soft

Process on a slow speed until all ingredients are partially combined.

1.2.

Then increase the speed to medium-high and process until the dough is formed (about 2 – 3 minutes). The final dough can be slightly crumbly.

2. Preheat the oven to 325°F.

3. Form nets:

3.1.

Using your hands and a scale, separate the dough into individual portions, each about 0.5 OZ, and roll them into balls.

3.2.

Place each ball on a baking sheet and make sure they are not touching each other (about 25 – 30 on each baking sheet).

4. Bake:

4.1.

Bake in a preheated oven until fully baked (about 8 – 10 minutes).

4.2.

Rotate the baking sheets in the middle of baking.

4.3.

Place 1 roasted almond into each immediately after you finish baking — while still hot. If you selected preserve instead of almonds, then create a small dent with the other side of the wooden spoon. Fill with preserve after fully cooled.

4.4.

Let totally cool on the baking sheet before serving or further manipulation.

If parts of the ingredients stick to the side of the kitchen mixer during processing, stop the mixer, and use a spatula to mix it back in. Then, continue processing.
