Recipe Information
Yield:
12 to 15 cookie sandwiches
Ingredients
½ cup butter, melted
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 large egg whites
1 cup flour
¼ cup heavy cream
¾ cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside. In a medium bowl, combine butter, sugar, vanilla and salt. Stir in egg whites, one at a time, until well blended after each addition. Stir in flour. Drop by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto two prepared baking sheets.
- Bake one baking sheet at a time, 5 to 7 minutes or until edges of cookies are browned. Immediately transfer cookies to wire racks to cool.
- For ganache, in a medium saucepan, bring cream to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; add chocolate chips, stirring continuously until mixture is melted and shiny. Let cool slightly.
- Once cookies and ganache are cooled, use a knife to spread 1 teaspoon of ganache on the bottom sides of half of the cookies. Top with the other half of cookies to create cookie sandwiches.
