- white sugar: 0.5 cup
- white sugar: 2 Tbsp
- egg whites: 3 piece
- ½ teaspoons vanilla extract: 1 piece

Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
-
In a medium bowl, cream together butter and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons 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.
-
Using a cookie press or a pastry bag with a medium star tip, press dough onto prepared baking sheet into 3-inch lengths, like a ladyfinger.
-
Bake cookies in preheated oven until straw-colored, about 10 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
-
When cookies are cool, dip one end of each cookie in melted chocolate and place on wax paper until chocolate hardens. Store in a cool place.
