Preheat your oven to 160Β°C (320Β°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks using an electric mixer.
Gradually add granulated sugar to the egg whites while continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Sift together powdered sugar, almond flour, and cornstarch to ensure there are no lumps.
Gently fold the dry mixture into the beaten egg whites using a spatula, adding vanilla extract and mixing until everything is just combined.
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round nozzle, then pipe 7cm long lines onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each.
Sprinkle slivered almonds on top of the piped cookies, pressing gently to adhere.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes until the cookies are slightly golden on the outside. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
While the cookies cool, prepare the filling by whipping the cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until firm peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag.
Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth.
Once the cookies are cooled, pair them up by size. Pipe a generous amount of whipped cream onto the flat side of one cookie and sandwich with the other.
Dip the ends of the sandwiched cookies into the melted chocolate and place them on a sheet of parchment paper to set.
Allow the chocolate to fully set before serving. Enjoy your soy-free Bokkenpootjes.
