Time 20m

Yield 50 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
3 egg whites, from Grade A large eggs
Pinch of kosher salt
1 1/4 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup sifted granulated sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • With an electric mixer, beat the butter until creamy. Add the brown sugar and beat until well combined and fluffy.
  • Add the egg whites and salt and beat just until slightly blended. Add the flour and blend on low speed until smooth. Stir in the vanilla.
  • Drop by the teaspoonful on an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving two inches between cookies. (Alternatively, squeeze onto cookie sheets with a pastry bag fitted with a large, plain tip - the easiest, quickest way.) Bake, one sheet at a time, for five to seven minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Bake in about five batches of 10 cookies each.
  • With a spatula, remove the cookies to a wire rack to cool.
  • If desired, make a caramel by slowly cooking the sugar - covered until dissolved - to a golden brown. Remove the pan from heat and dip the outside of the pan in cold water to stop cooking. Dip half of each cookie into the syrup.
