INGREDIENTS
- For the cookies – alfajor tapas:
- – 2/3 cup of muscabo sugar.
- – 2 tablespoons (20 g) of potato or corn starch.
- – 1/3 cup (75 g) liquid however not sizzling coconut oil.
- – 1/4 cup (56 g) of vegetable (or cow’s) milk at room temperature.
- – 1 1/2 vanilla extract.
- – 1/4 teaspoon baking soda.
- – 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
- – 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- – 1 ½ cup of rice flour (if you happen to do not thoughts making them with gluten, it may be complete wheat flour, or half and half. To make chocolate dough, use 1 cup of flour and half a cup of darkish cocoa)
- – ¼ cup of chopped chocolate (roughly 40 grams).

- – 2 cups of black beans, aduki beans or white beans (already cooked).
- – ½ cup of bitter cocoa.
- – 1 cup of mascabo sugar, replaceable with the sweetener of your selection. I like to recommend not changing greater than half with honey or stevia for greatest outcomes. Changing it with soaked and pitted dates is scrumptious, whether or not in complete or in half.

For the cookies or alfajor tapas:
1.Preheat the oven to 180 levels. Oil or butter a plate, or place parchment paper.
2.In a big bowl, combine the sugar and starch till built-in. Add the coconut oil, mixing with a wire whisk for a couple of minute: you’ll discover that the combination thickens.
3.Add the milk and vanilla, beating till nicely included. Let it relaxation for a minute or two. Add the dry components (flour/s, powders and if you happen to use cocoa too) till you get hold of a dense and oily dough. If it is too chewy, add an additional tablespoon or two of flour.
4.The best factor at this level is to let the dough relaxation for at the least fifteen minutes within the fridge. It’ll enable you manipulate the dough higher and will probably be tastier. However in case you are in a rush you’ll be able to transfer ahead straight, inserting spoonfuls on the plate with loads of house between them as a result of within the oven the cookies will develop a bit of. One other strategy to type the cookies is to knead small balls with moist palms after which gently crush them with the again of the spoon or along with your hand, till you get hold of thick discs.
5.Additionally on this occasion you can refrigerate the dough for some time (or freeze it and have it able to bake one other day, if that fits you).
6.Bake for ten to fifteen minutes, at 180 levels, till the cookies start to brown on the sides and look dry within the center. When you refrigerated the dough already on the plate, it’s good to set the oven to 170 levels and cook dinner a couple of extra minutes, 15 to twenty.
7.Allow them to cool a bit of earlier than eradicating them from the plate and retailer them at room temperature in a tupperware or hermetic jar for as much as 5 days.
For the filling, frosting or chocolate cream:
1.Course of, mix or combine all of the components collectively, reserving the cocoa and a part of the water for final. Add the liquid little by little, till you get hold of the specified texture: if you wish to fill it, make it denser, if you would like it to cowl, lighter. With the beans nonetheless heat, the cream comes out higher and sooner (smoother and silkier) however it’s achieved in any manner if they’re chilly: in that case I like to recommend including the nice and cozy water.
2.Preserve within the fridge till used, in a tupperware or hermetic jar, for ten days with out issues.
Take pleasure in them!.
