Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (204ðC).
-
Generously grease 4 cookie sheets.
-
In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Blend in the all-purpose flour until just combined.
-
In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites until frothy.
-
Blend the frothy egg whites and vanilla into the butter mixture.
-
Using a measuring teaspoon, place 4 mounds of dough, spaced 4 inches apart, on each prepared cookie sheet.
-
Spread each mound with the back of a spoon dipped in water to form a 3-inch diameter circle.
-
Bake one sheet at a time for 5-6 minutes, or until the edges are just barely golden.
-
Do not overbake, as the cookies will become too crisp to shape.
-
Remove from the oven and quickly loosen each cookie from the sheet with a thin spatula.
-
Immediately shape each warm cookie into a cone; they will firm up as they cool.
-
If a cookie becomes too firm to shape, return it to the oven for a few seconds to soften.
-
Melt chocolate in a small bowl set over hot (not boiling) water, stirring until smooth.
-
Once all cones are baked and cooled, dip the flared ends into the melted chocolate.
-
Let the cones stand until the chocolate coating is set.
-
Serve by standing the cones in a bowl, using a layer of sugar at the bottom if needed to keep them upright.
