Yield Makes 30 to 40

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
10 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 large egg whites, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped medium fine
1 1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup
Vegetable-oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, flour, and salt; make a well in the center. Add melted butter, egg whites, cream, and vanilla. Mix until well combined. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place rack in center. Spray 2 baking sheets (do not use air-cushioned sheets or line with parchment) with vegetable-oil spray. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of batter onto baking sheet. Using the back of a spoon, spread batter into a very thin 6-by-3 1/2-inch oval. Repeat, making 3 more ovals of batter on the sheet.
  • Bake just until brown around edges, about 6 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare second baking sheet. Working quickly, use a knife or long metal spatula to transfer a cookie to a work surface; roll around a chopstick or thin wooden dowel, forming a cigarette shape; place on wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining 3 cookies. If they get too stiff, return baking sheet to oven for 30 seconds. Continue baking and shaping cookies until batter is used up.
  • Combine chocolate, corn syrup, and remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a double boiler over simmering water; stir occasionally with a rubber spatula until smooth. Let cool slightly. Dip about 1 inch of each cooled cookie into chocolate. Place on a wire rack, with dipped section off the edge, to dry.

Overall, I thought these Cigarettes Russes were just okay. They're not my favorite appetizer, but they're not bad either.

These Cigarettes Russes are a bit too expensive to make. I think I'll try a more budget-friendly recipe next time.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my Cigarettes Russes turned out really dry. Maybe I didn't use enough butter.

These Cigarettes Russes are a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them instead of frying them next time.

The filling for these Cigarettes Russes was a bit bland. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

I'm not a huge fan of puff pastry, but these Cigarettes Russes were surprisingly good. The filling was flavorful and the pastry was crispy.
