Makes about 36
Ingredients
  • ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • ½ vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped and reserved
  • 3 large egg whites, room temperature
  • 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon (1.5 grams) kosher salt
  • Mint Chocolate Ganache (recipe follows)
  • Garnish: turbinado sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat nonstick baking mat.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla bean seeds at medium speed until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Reduce mixer speed to medium-low. Add egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  3. In a medium bowl, sift together flour and salt three times. Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating just until combined.
  4. Spoon batter into a large piping bag fitted with a medium round tip. Pipe batter onto prepared pans in straight lines about 3 inches long and ½ inch wide.
  5. Bake until edges are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely. Once cool, dip into Mint Chocolate Ganache, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
