Beat the egg whites in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until foamy. Gradually add the white sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift the beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Fold in the almond meal, cinnamon, lemon zest, and vanilla.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the meringue to a piping bag with a large plain tip (or to a gallon-sized plastic zipper bag with a snipped corner). Pipe the meringue into ladyfingers about 3 inches long. Set the pan aside and let the meringues dry at room temperature.

Make the filling by beating the butter and confectioners' sugar until smooth, then stir in the vanilla. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over just-barely simmering water, stirring often and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to prevent scorching.

To assemble, spread buttercream on the back of a cookie, sandwich it with another cookie, and dip both ends into the melted chocolate. Let the dipped cookies dry on waxed paper or parchment.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
