1/2 c Plus 2 tablespoons
-softenened butter
1 3/4 c Confectioner’s; (powdered)
-sugar
6 Egg whites
1 1/4 c Flour
1 1/2 tb Heavy cream
1 1/2 ts Finely grated orange rind
1 1/2 c Heavy cream
2 1/2 c Chocolate chips
2 tb Grand Marnier
Cream butter and sugar. Beat in 3 egg whites. Stir in 1/4 cup flour. Beat
in remaining 3 egg whites. Fold in remaining flour, cream and orange peel.
For each cookie, spoon one tablespoon of batter onto a lightly greased
baking sheet. Hit the cookie sheet on the counter to flatten the batter.
Bake about 5 minutes at 450 degrees, until the cookies are golden colored
around the edges. Roll the cookies (WORK QUICKLY) around a cylinder such as
a wooden spoon handle. Press down the edges to seal one end of the cookie
“tube”. If any of the cookies are too cool and not pliable enough, reheat
them briefly in the oven. Keep the cookies in an airtight container until
just before serving. When preparing to serve the cookies, fill with
chocolate using a pastry bag.
Filling
Heat the cream to boiling. Add chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is
completely melted. Mix in Grand Marnier and cool to room temperature. Use a
pastry bag to pipe the filling. It’s best to add the filling just before
serving for a more crisp cookie.
