Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup lentils drained and rinsed
- 2 large eggs separated
- 3½ ounces bittersweet chocolate melted
- ½ stick unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup 1% low-fat buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
- Turn your oven on to 350ºF.
- Spray cooking spray on two large baking sheets, or line them with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt with a sifter. Set aside for later.
- Blend the lentils and egg yolks in a blender or food processor until you get a smooth mixture. Set aside for later.
- Use an electric mixer in a large bowl to beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla until they become light and fluffy.
- While keeping the mixer on a low setting, include the melted chocolate into the bowl. Blend until well mixed.
- Add the lentil and egg yolk mixture to the large bowl. Mix until everything is well combined.
- In turns, add the set-aside dry mix and the buttermilk to the large bowl. Make sure to mix each time you add something. Your dough will be on the sticky side.
- In a different bowl, beat the egg whites until you see soft peaks forming.
- Carefully fold these peaks into your dough.
- Use a teaspoon to place mounds of dough onto your ready baking sheets, leaving a 1-inch space between each one.
- Place the baking sheets in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Your cookies should puff up and hold their shape.
- Once out of the oven, let the cookies stay on the sheets for 2 minutes.
- Transfer them to a wire rack to cool down completely.
- Store cookies in an airtight box.
- To serve sprinkle some powdered sugar on top.
