Directions

  1. First, soften the butter, then cream it with the powdered sugar in a mixer. Add the egg whites and beat until the mixture is smooth. Gradually add the flour until a dough forms that is no longer sticky. ≈ 4 min
  2. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3 mm, then cut it into an even number of cookies using cookie cutters. ≈ 8 min
  3. Cut out the center of one half of each pair using a small cookie cutter. Arrange all the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool.
  4. Spread the biscuits with condensed milk, then place the hollow biscuit on top. Melt the dark chocolate or milk chocolate and pour it into the center. Optionally, decorate with white chocolate, or fill the center with fruit jam.
