How to Make Brussels Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease two baking sheets.
  2. Prepare a pastry bag fitted with a ½-inch tip.
  3. In a medium bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon cream of tartar. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional) until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). If using, add the zest of 1 orange.
  5. Add 2 large egg whites and beat on medium-high speed until well combined (about 1 minute), scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in ½ cup chopped almonds and ½ cup rolled oats.
  7. Fill the pastry bag with the batter. Pipe 2-inch long fingers or 2-inch round circles, leaving 3 inches between each cookie on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Immediately transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely using a spatula.
  10. Once cooled, melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 ounces of white chocolate chips (optional) in a double boiler or microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  11. Turn over half of the cookies. Spread a thin layer of melted chocolate onto the bottom of each.
  12. Top with the remaining cookies, gently pressing down to adhere.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the chocolate to set.
  14. Store airtight in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
