👨‍🍳 Method

To assemble

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Whip the soft butter with the powdered sugar, to a smooth, pale mixture.
    ⚙ WhippingBowlHand mixerorStand mixerorWhisk
    💡Cream the butter soft, at room temperature: cold butter doesn't take in air, and melted butter doesn't hold it.
  3. 3
    Add the egg and vanilla and mix well.
  4. 4
    Add the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder and salt and mix just until a dough forms.
    💡Mix in the gluten-free flour blend only until a dough forms: long kneading develops gluten, and the cookies come out hard instead of crumbly.
  5. 5
    Transfer the dough to a piping bag with a star tip and pipe cookies onto the baking sheet, spaced apart.

    Bake 12–15 minutes, until the edges turn lightly golden.

    💡Take the cookies out while they still look soft: they firm up as they cool, and long baking dries them out.
    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
  7. 7
    Cool completely on the pan: the cookies firm up as they cool.
  8. 8
    Melt the chocolate over a double boiler and dip half of each cookie.
