Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly butter a heavy cookie sheet. In bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter. Add the sugar, and continue to beat until creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Sift the flour three times with the salt. Beat egg whites into the butter, one at a time. Add the vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add flour mixture gradually, scraping down the sides. Stir in the lemon zest.
• Transfer the batter to a large pastry bag fitted with a #2B tip and a large-size coupler. Pipe out cookies in an S shape, about 3 inches long. Repeat S pattern in reverse.
• Bake until the edges are golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack. Cookies will become crisp as they cool.
• Combine the chocolate and corn syrup in a double boiler over simmering water; stir occasionally with a rubber spatula until smooth. Using a small offset spatula or knife, spread cookie with chocolate, and top with another cookie to form a sandwich. Dip about 1 inch of each cooled cookie into chocolate, and roll to coat with pistachios; let dry.

• Using a dinner knife, scoop up about 1 teaspoon batter and tap it onto the cookie sheet. Press the knife down onto the batter so you have a line 2 1/2 inches. Spread the batter on the sheet in this manner, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
• Bake for 4-5 minutes in the middle of the oven, until the cookies have browned slightly at the edges. Remove with a metal spatula and cool on a rack. If the cookies harden before you take them off the sheet, return them to the oven to warm them.
• When the cookies have cooled, store them in an airtight container.
