Ingredients

3/4 cup flour, all-purpose
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter unsalted, softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 large egg separated, the white at room temp
2 tablespoons orange zest freshly grated
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon orange juice fresh
1 x sugar granulated, for sprinkling cookies
2 ounces chocolate, bittersweet melted and cooked slightly

Directions

Into a large bowl sift together the flour, the cornstarch, the baking powder and a pinch of salt.

In a bowl with an electric mixer cream together the butter and the confectioners' sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, beat in the yolk, the zest, the vanilla, and the orange juice, and stir in the flour mixture well.

In a bowl beat the white until it forms soft peaks and fold it gently but thoroughly into the mixture.

(The batter will have the consistency of soft dough.)

Transfer the batter to a pastry bag fitted with a decorative ribbon tip and onto the buttered baking sheet pipe 1 1/2-inch lengths 1 inch apart.

Sprinkle the lengths with the granulated sugar and bake the cookies in the middle of a preheated 350 degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden.

Transfer the cookies to racks and let them cool until they can be handled.

Dip 1 end of each cookie into the chocolate and let the cookies dry completely on the racks.

Cajun Chicken Pasta

Oh my goodness. Words cannot describe how good this recipe is. I absolutely loved it. I added a little more cajun seasoning than it said because I love spiciness and it was perfect. I will definitely make this a meal to share with everyone.
