"Grandma magically transformed flat cookies into these elegant rolls using a spoon handle."

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup coarsely grated bittersweet or dark sweet chocolate bar (about 2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease baking sheets well and set aside.
  • Beat butter and sugar in small bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in egg whites, one at a time. Beat in vanilla. Add flour; beat just until blended. Gently fold in the grated chocolate.
  • Drop teaspoonfuls of batter 4 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets. Spread dough into 2-inch rounds with small spatula. Make only 3 or 4 rounds on each baking sheet.
  • Bake 1 baking sheet at a time until edges of cookies are barely golden, about 4 to 5 minutes. Do not overbake.
  • Remove from oven and quickly loosen edge of 1 cookie from baking sheet with thin spatula. Quickly roll cookie around clean handle of a wooden spoon, overlapping edges to form a cigar shape. Slide cookie off handle to wire rack. Repeat immediately with remaining cookies. (If cookies become too firm to shape, return them to oven for a few seconds to soften.) Let cookies cool completely.
