Chocolate Pirouettes |
|
Serves: 6 Garnishing with a pirouette cookie is a delicious way to adorn many smoothies. Although there are a host of commercially made pirouettes that are available in assorted sizes and flavors, I prefer to make my own. The recipe for these cookies is so versatile, you can choose the flavor that most appeals to you.3 tablespoons flour 1 heaping tablespoon Dutch-processed baking cocoa 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar 1 large egg white Organize all of your own recipes with the Cook'n Recipe Software.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper lightly coated with a nonstick vegetable spray. Set aside. Combine the flour and cocoa in a small bowl and blend well. Place the butter and confectioners’ sugar in a tall medium bowl and beat with a handheld electric mixer (or an electric mixer) on low speed for 1 to 2 minutes, or until creamy. Add half the cocoa mixture and beat on low speed until blended. Add the egg white and remaining cocoa mixture and beat just until incorporated. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of batter on each half of the prepared baking sheet. Using an angular metal spatula (or straight metal spatula), spread the batter into a 5-inch circle, making sure the batter is thin but not transparent. (Don’t worry if the batter looks uneven—it will even out during the baking process.) Bake for 8 minutes, or until set. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and use a metal spatula to loosen each cookie. Using your fingers, quickly roll up the cookie into a tight cylinder or cigar shape. Place the cookies, seam-side down, on a cake rack to cool completely. Allow the baking sheet to cool completely before repeating the process with the remaining batter. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen for several weeks.
