Copycat Milano Cookies

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 300u00b0F with oven racks in the top and lower third of oven. Beat together butter and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed until well combined, about 1 minute. Gradually add powdered sugar, and beat until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Stir in salt. Add egg whites, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Gradually add flour, and beat on low speed until batter is smooth, about 30 seconds.

   Meanwhile, microwave cream in a medium microwavable bowl until hot, about 25 seconds. Add chopped chocolate, and stir until smooth. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until mixture has cooled completely and thickened, about 45 minutes.

3. 3

   Transfer chocolate mixture to a piping bag fitted with a 1/4-inch round tip. Pipe about 2 teaspoons mixture onto half of the cookies, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Sandwich with remaining cookies, and press gently to spread filling to edges.
