- fill with stabilized whipped cream or any cream filling
Notes
you will need a silpat baking mat or parchment paper to bake these cookies find a nice round long heat proof something to mold the hot cookies around, a wooden spoon handle is great, cannoli tubes will work, for big ones a small drinking glass would be great Filling--you will need a filling of sorts too. Something light and fluffy like sweetened whipped cream is nice, mousse would be nice, but we enjoyed nibbling them plain too or dipped in coffee. Even a can of whipped cream would work. Store unfilled in an airtight container until ready to serve, then fill and serve the dipping in chocolate part can be completely skipped if you want, we happened to have melted chocolate so we dipped them a decided they were delicious that way but they are also perfect plain
