Ingredients
- 3½ Tablespoons butter softened
- 6⅔ Tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 small egg whites (room temperature)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 6¼ Tablespoons all purpose flour (at least 11 % protein)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C) Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl beat the butter and sugar for approximately 5 minutes, until creamy.
- Beat in the egg whites half at a time, then beat for 20-30 seconds. You don’t want to whip the whites until stiff. Add in the vanilla and flour beat for 30 seconds.
- Add the batter to a pastry bag with a 2a round tip, pipe out 3 inch (8 cm) long strips approximately 2 inches (5cm) apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake for 10 minutes until they start to turn golden around the edges. Let cool on the cookie sheet for approximately 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- It is best to use a scale to make these cookies although I did calculate the imperial measurements (more or less) if you want to try it out. But I cannot guarantee that they will bake up as they should, they may spread too much.
- Store the complete cooled cookies in an airtight container, they will keep for up to a week at room temperature, or 2 weeks in the fridge. They can also be frozen in a freezer safe container or bag for up to 1-2 months.
