One of the PMS modulators I have ever found. Wish I had them 20 years sooner. Thank you Gale - you are a goddess in my book.
Ingredients:
12 tablespoons butter, softened
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
7/8 cup egg white (from about 6 eggs)
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons lemon extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 orange, zested
Directions:
1. Cookies:.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
3. Line a sheet pan with parchment.
4. Cream the butter with a paddle attachment then mix in the sugar. Add the egg whites gradually and then mix in the vanilla and lemon extracts. Add the flour and mix until just incorporated.
5. With a small (1/4-inch) plain tip, pipe 1-inch sections of batter onto the parchment-lined sheet pan, spacing them 2 inches apart as they spread.
6. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes or until light golden brown around the edges. Let cool on the pan.
7. Cookie Filling:
8. In a small saucepan over medium flame, scald cream. Pour hot cream over chocolate in a bowl. Whisk to melt chocolate, add zest and blend well. Set aside to cool (the mixture will thicken as it cools).
9. Spread a thin amount of the filling onto the flat side of a cookie while the filling is still soft and press the flat side of a second cookie on top. Repeat with the remainder of the cookies.
