Chocolate Dipping Sauce For Savannah Bow Tie Cookies Food

SAVANNAH BOW TIES {PAULA DEEN} RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Let pastry stand at room temperature 20-40 minutes or until easy to roll. Unfold pastry on a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 14" square. Cut square in half with a fluted pastry wheel. Preheat oven to 400°F. FOR FILLING: Crumble almond paste in a small mixing bowl. Add egg yolk, brown sugar and milk. Beat with an electric mixer on med-speed until well mixed. Spread filling over 1 pastry half*. Place remaining pastry half on top of filling. Using the fluted pastry wheel, cut dough crosswise into fourteen 1" wide strips. Then cut each strip in half crosswise to make 28 pieces. Twist each piece twice. Place twists about 2" apart on cookie sheets lined with foil or parchment paper. Brush twists with slightly beaten egg white. Sprinkle with sugar {coarse sugar if available} Bake 14-15 minutes or until golden. Transfer to wire racks to cool. Serve with Chocolate Dipping Sauce. *Almond filling will be very stiff. To make spreading easier, drop a dollop of filling uniformly over pastry. Spray a piece of waxed paper with non-stick cooking spray. Press almond paste evenly over entire dough. Spray waxed paper as often as necessary to prevent filling from sticking.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED COOKIES

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low; beat in the flour mixture in 2 batches until combined.
• Transfer the batter to a resealable plastic bag and snip the corner to create a 1/2-inch opening. Pipe the batter into 1/2-by-3-inch strips, about 2 inches apart, on the prepared baking sheets. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are golden around the edges, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment. Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth. Dip the cookies halfway in the chocolate, letting the excess drip off, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until the chocolate just sets, 10 to 15 minutes.
