Ingredients

9 tablespoons butter, softened
10 tablespoons white sugar
3 egg whites
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
6 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, melted

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets.
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg whites one at a time until batter is light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla. Mix in the flour just until blended. Dough will be a little stiff. Force through a pastry bag or cookie press with a medium star tip onto lightly buttered cookie sheets. Make each cookie about 3 inches long.
Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until straw-colored. When cool, dip one end of each cookie in melted chocolate and place on wax paper until chocolate hardens. Store in a cool place.

"The cookies turned out good. They don’t taste like sugar cookies though, more like shortbread. My chocolate chips started to cool before I got all the cookies dipped and then the cookie would break ..." See morewhen I tried to pull it out f the chocolate. I would suggest adding something like butter to the chocolate chips to thin it out."
