Directions
Cookie Dough Preparation:
Cream Butter and Sugar: Soften the butter at room temperature. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter with icing sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
Incorporate Egg Whites: Gradually add the egg whites in three parts, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth incorporation.
Sift and Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift the low-gluten flour and cornstarch into the mixture. For flavored cookies, also sift in the corresponding flavor powder (strawberry, cocoa, or matcha). Stir until the dough is well combined and smooth.
Shaping and Baking:
Shape the Cookies: Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a round nozzle. Pipe the dough into cookie molds or onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 150°C (302°F). Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are slightly golden. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
Assembling with White Chocolate:
Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
Fill Molds: Pour melted white chocolate into molds (if using) or directly onto the flat side of half the cookies. Refrigerate until the chocolate solidifies.
Sandwich Cookies: Apply a small amount of melted chocolate on the solidified chocolate layer and press another cookie on top gently to form a sandwich. Allow the cookies to set in the refrigerator before serving.

Recipe Note
Tips for Success:
- Creaming Butter and Sugar: Ensure the butter is properly creamed with sugar for a light texture.
- Egg Whites: Add egg whites gradually to prevent the mixture from curdling.
- Even Baking: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even coloring.
- White Chocolate: Be careful not to overheat the white chocolate to avoid separation.
Enjoy crafting these delightful Shiroi Koibito Cookies, perfect for sharing with loved ones or enjoying as a special treat. Each bite offers a burst of flavor, encased in smooth white chocolate, promising a memorable gourmet experience.
