The simple butter cookie dough is refined with a vanilla bean and prepared in no time. Once the cookies have cooled, they can be dipped in chocolate and eaten with indulgence.
Cover the baking trays with baking paper and set aside a piping bag with a star-shaped tip to have it quickly at hand.
Take the mixing bowl of your food processor. Add the softened butter, the sugar, and the vanilla pulp and mix it until it has a creamy consistency. This will take about 5 minutes.
7.05 oz Unsalted butter, ½ cup Sugar, 1 Vanilla bean
Once you have a creamy mixture, blend in the egg whites.
2 Egg white
Mix in the flour and cornstarch.
1¾ cups Cake flour, ¾ cup Cornstarch
Fill the dough into a pastry bag with a star-shaped nozzle.
Use the piping bag to pipe the dough in the form of circles onto the baking tray covered with baking paper.
Bake the butter cookies in the oven on the middle rack for about 20 minutes (depending on your oven). You want to bake these cookies pale in color!
Once baked, take them out and let them cool.
Melt the chocolate couverture using a water bath or tempering device.
1¼ cups Dark chocolate couverture
Once the chocolate is ready, dip the butter cookies halfway into the chocolate coating. Let them drip off and place them on a sheet of baking paper to dry.
Once the chocolate has set, enjoy the finished cookies with tea, coffee, or hot chocolate!
