Milan Cookies

350 degrees

Cream the butter with a paddle attachment then mix in the sugar. Add the egg whites gradually and then mix in the vanilla and lemon extracts. Add the flour and mix until just incorporated. With a small (1⁄4”) plain tip, pipe 1” sections of batter onto parchment-lined sheet pan, spacing them 2” apart as they spread. Bake for 10 minutes or until light golden brown around the edges. Let cool on the pan.

Cookie Filling Instructions

In a small saucepan over a medium flame, scald cream. Pour hot cream over chocolate in the bowl. Whisk to melt chocolate, add zest and blend well. Set aside to cool (the mixture will thicken as it cools). Spread a thin amount of the filling onto the flat side of a cookie while the filling is still soft and press the flat side of a second cookie on top. Repeat with the remainder of the cookies. Makes 62 cookies.
