Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
• In a medium bowl, cream together butter and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg whites one at a time until batter is light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla. Mix in the flour just until blended. Dough will be a little stiff.
• Using a cookie press or a pastry bag with a medium star tip, press dough onto prepared baking sheet into 3-inch lengths, like a ladyfinger.
• Bake cookies in preheated oven until straw-colored, about 10 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
• When cookies are cool, dip one end of each cookie in melted chocolate and place on wax paper until chocolate hardens. Store in a cool place.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Butter and flour two baking sheets.
• Beat the butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt until pale and fluffy. Beat the egg whites for 1 minute, until they mound slightly. Add the egg whites and mix just enough to blend. Add the flour through a sieve, shaking it over the batter and folding it in quickly.
• Using a dinner knife, scoop up about 1 teaspoon batter and tap it onto the cookie sheet. Press the knife down onto the batter so you have a line 2 1/2 inches. Spread the batter on the sheet in this manner, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
• Bake for 4-5 minutes in the middle of the oven, until the cookies have browned slightly at the edges. Remove with a metal spatula and cool on a rack. If the cookies harden before you take them off the sheet, return them to the oven to warm them.
• When the cookies have cooled, store them in an airtight container.
