Ingredients

    1 tbsp salted butter, melted
    2 tbsp canola oil
    ½ cup sugar
    ¼ cup egg whites (about 2)
    1 tsp vanilla
    ¼ cup Dutch processed cocoa
    ½ cup spelt flour
    ¼ cup ground tiger nuts or almonds
    ½ tsp baking powder
    pinch sea salt
    ¼ cup mint-flavoured white chocolate chips (mine had red glitter!)
    ½ cup icing sugar, for rolling
    ¼ cup white sanding sugar, for rolling

Directions

In a bowl, beat the butter, oil, sugar, egg whites and vanilla until slightly thickened.
Sift in the cocoa, then beat in the flour, tiger nuts, baking powder and salt.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Cover and chill 1 hour.
Heat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the sugars in a medium shallow bowl and set aside.
Roll the chilled dough into 1” balls and roll in the sugar mixture to coat completely.
Place on the baking sheets, leaving about 1” between each.
Bake 12 minutes, until the cookies are puffed and the sugared surfaces have cracked apart.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
