From the instructions, they may seem to be labor intensive since only three cookies are baked at a time, but the baking time is short, and before you know it there&#8217;s a dozen cookies cooling on the rack. Besides, who can resist a cookie that&#8217;s dipped in chocolate? <!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 cups confectioners&#8217; sugar, sifted<\/li>\n<li>1 1\/4 cups flour<\/li>\n<li>1\/8 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li>10 1\/2 butter, melted<\/li>\n<li>6 large eggs whites, lightly beaten<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon heavy cream<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>6 oz. mini semi sweet chocolate chips<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tablespoons vegetable shortening<\/li>\n<li>vegetable oil cooking spray<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li>In a large bowl, whisk sugar, flour, and salt. Add butter, egg whites, cream, and vanilla, mix until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.<\/li>\n<li>Preheat oven to 425\u00ba, spray two baking sheets (do not use parchment paper) with vegetable spray. Put a heaping tablespoon of batter onto the baking sheet. Using a spoon, spread into a 6&#8243; x 3 1\/2&#8243; oval. Repeat twice more.<\/li>\n<li>Baking 6 minutes, until the edges are brown. While the cookies are baking, prepare the second pan.<\/li>\n<li>When the cookies are done baking, remove from pan using a metal spatula to a work surface. Using a chopstick, roll making a cigarette shape &#8211; place on a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining cookies. If they become too stiff, return to the oven for 30 seconds.<\/li>\n<li>In a small bowl, combine the chocolate chips and shortening. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after each time until smooth. Dip cookies in the melted chocolate and place on a wire rack, letting chocolate end rest over the side to solidify. Makes 20 to 30 cookies.\n<div class=\"paragraph\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<section class=\"component recipe-instructions recipeInstructions container\"><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is my last cookie recipe for the holiday season, saving the best for last!
