Chocolate-gilded Danish Sugar Cones Recipe

How to make it

---

• Preheat oven to 400'F. Generously grease 4 cookie sheets.
• Beat butter and sugar in large bowl until light and fluffy.
• Blend in flour. In clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Blend into butter mixture with vanilla.
• Using measuring teaspoon, place 4 mounds of dough, 4" apart, on each prepared cookie sheet. Spread mounds with back of spoon dipped in water to 3" diameter.
• Bake, 1 sheet at a time, 5-6 minutes or until edges are just barely golden.
• (Do not overbake or cookies become crisp too quickly and are
• difficult to shape.)
• Remove from oven and quickly loosen each cookie cookie sheet with thin spatula.
• Shape each into a cone; cones become firm as they cool. (If cookies become too firm to shape, return to oven for a few seconds to soften.)
• Melt chocolate in small bowl over hot, not boiling, water. Stir until smooth. When all cookies are baked and cooled, dip flared ends into melted
• chocolate.
• Let stand until chocolate is set.
• If desired, serve cones by standing them in a bowl. (Adding about 1" of sugar to bottom of bowl may be necessary to hold them upright.)
