Ingredients

1/2 cup Plus 2 tablespoons softenened butter

1 3/4 cups Confectioner's, (powdered) sugar

6 Egg whites

1 1/4 cups Flour

1 1/2 tablespoons Heavy cream

1 1/2 teaspoons Finely grated orange rind

1 1/2 cups Heavy cream

2 1/2 cups Chocolate chips

2 tablespoons Grand Marnier

Preparation

Cream butter and sugar. Beat in 3 egg whites. Stir in 1/4 cup flour. Beat in remaining 3 egg whites. Fold in remaining flour, cream and orange peel.

For each cookie, spoon one tablespoon of batter onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Hit the cookie sheet on the counter to flatten the batter.

Bake about 5 minutes at 450 degrees, until the cookies are golden colored around the edges. Roll the cookies (WORK QUICKLY) around a cylinder such as a wooden spoon handle. Press down the edges to seal one end of the cookie

"tube". If any of the cookies are too cool and not pliable enough, reheat them briefly in the oven. Keep the cookies in an airtight container until just before serving. When preparing to serve the cookies, fill with chocolate using a pastry bag.

Filling

Heat the cream to boiling. Add chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Mix in Grand Marnier and cool to room temperature. Use a pastry bag to pipe the filling. It's best to add the filling just before serving for a more crisp cookie.
