Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (60g) confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt. In another bowl, cream together softened butter until smooth. Add egg whites and vanilla extract; mix until combined. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients until just combined.
  3. Using a piping bag fitted with a round tip, pipe thin lines about 4 inches long onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  4. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Watch closely!
  5. While still warm, quickly remove cookies from the baking sheet and roll each cookie around a stick to form a tube shape, holding for a few seconds until set.
  6. In a double boiler or microwave, melt the chocolate, adding coconut oil if desired, until smooth.
  7. Dip each cookie end in melted chocolate and place on parchment to cool.
