These are absolutely delightful cookies made from cacao butter:

Topped with Balam (Mayan White Cacao) whole roasted beans; the pale ones are lightly roasted and the dark ones are medium roasted.  This can be substituted with cacao nibs instead.

Balam:

Put in a large bowl and mix thoroughly:

1/2 cup of cacao butter, softened

1/3 cup powdered sugar

1/2 tsp of salt

Next add:

one egg

1 tbsp vanilla essence

1 cup cake flour (sifted)

1/4 tsp baking soda

Mix and roll into dough.  Wrap in cling-film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Next divide dough into 16 equal pieces and roll into round cookie shape about 1 inch (2.5cm) in diameter and decorate with a whole roasted cacao bean.  Alternatively, you can place cacao nibs on top.

Place on cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes at 165 C (325F).

Mmmmmm…Munchkin loves these!!
