Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 Large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Fruit jam (e.g., raspberry, strawberry, or apricot)
- 150 grams Dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil (optional, for tempering)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Gradually add the egg whites and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
Sift in the all-purpose flour and mix gently with a spatula until a smooth and soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a medium round or star tip.
Pipe 2-inch (5 cm) long strips onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Once the cookies have cooled, pair them up with similar shapes for even sandwiching.
Spread a small dollop of fruit jam onto the flat side of one cookie, then gently press the flat side of another cookie on top to create a sandwich.
Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Add vegetable oil if needed for a shinier finish.
Dip one end of each cookie sandwich into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Place the dipped cookie on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or refrigerate for a faster set.
Serve and enjoy these decadent Chocolate Dipped Jam Filled Cats Tongues with tea or coffee!
