VIENNESE CHOCOLATE FINGERS
The last of the 2007 holiday trays are done and I am already thinking about next year. (Our trays have favorites but always include a few new recipes.) Planned to make these but never had a chance. Posting this so I don't lose it in the next 49 weeks before holiday begins again. This recipe comes from "1000 Chocolate Recipes from Around the World" an encyclopedic volume which should be mandatory reading for us chocoholics.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare baking sheets with a light coating of cooking spray.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
- Using a double boiler or a large heat resistant bowl over a saucepan, melt your chocolate.
- Beat together the butter and sugar until the butter is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes at medium high speed.
- Using the mixer, slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the whipped butter and sugar. Once done, beat in the melted chocolate.
- Using a large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip (#885), pipe 2 inch ribbons of dough. In doing so, you are not making a straight line but slight small waves/ridges. Sorry I don't recall the terminology here. Allow a good amount of space between cookies to allow to expand during baking.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, checking at the minimum baking time for doneness. Remove from the oven when done.
- Allow the cookies to cool on sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.
- Melt the remaining chocolate in a double boiler. Gently dip the edge of each cookie into the chocolate tipping off the excess. Place the dipped cookies onto the parchment paper and let the chocolate set before serving or storing.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375*. Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets.
- 2. Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and oil. Gradually beat in flour and cornstarch
- 3. Put 2 3/4 oz. of semisweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt. Beat the melted chocolate into the dough
- 4. Dip out teaspoon sized balls and place on cookie sheets. Use fork to flatten cookie slightly
- 5. Bake 12-15 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
- 6. Melt remaining chocolate with about 2 tablespoon crisco. Dip one end of each cookie in chocolate
- 7. Place on parchment paper to let chocolate set.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cacao solids. This will ensure your cookies are rich and flavorful.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature: This helps the cookies develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This allows the cookies to firm up and develop their full flavor.
Conclusion:
Viennese Chocolate Fingers are a delicious and elegant cookie perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their rich chocolate flavor and crispy texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
