Chocolate Dipped Butter Cookies

🧂 Ingredients

• 7.05 oz Unsalted butter

  room temperature
• ½ cup Sugar
• 1 Vanilla bean
• 2 Egg white
• 1¾ cups Cake flour
• ¾ cup Cornstarch
• 1¼ cups Dark chocolate couverture

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 170 °C // 338 °F.
• 2 Cover the baking trays with baking paper and set aside a piping bag with a
  star-shaped tip to have it quickly at hand.
• 3 Take the mixing bowl of your food processor. Add the softened butter, the sugar,
  and the vanilla pulp and mix it until it has a creamy consistency. This will
  take about 5 minutes.
• 4 Once you have a creamy mixture, blend in the egg whites.
• 5 Mix in the flour and cornstarch.
• 6 Fill the dough into a pastry bag with a star-shaped nozzle.
• 7 Use the piping bag to pipe the dough in the form of circles onto the baking tray
  covered with baking paper.
• 8 Bake the butter cookies in the oven on the middle rack for about 20 minutes
  (depending on your oven). You want to bake these cookies pale in color!
• 9 Once baked, take them out and let them cool.
• 10 Melt the chocolate couverture using a water bath or tempering device.
• 11 Once the chocolate is ready, dip the butter cookies halfway into the chocolate
  coating. Let them drip off and place them on a sheet of baking paper to dry.
• 12 Once the chocolate has set, enjoy the finished cookies with tea, coffee, or hot
  chocolate!
