Ingredients

  • oz bittersweet chocolate unsweetened finely chopped (not )
  • 0.3 teaspoon cinnamon 
  • 0.8 cup confectioners sugar 
  • large egg whites 
  • 0.5 cup flour all-purpose
  • 0.3 teaspoon salt 
  • 0.3 cup butter unsalted melted

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • sauce pan
  • oven
  • whisk
  • double boiler
  • spatula
  • offset spatula
  • chopsticks

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Whisk together all ingredients except chocolate until combined well. Working in batches of 4, drop 1 level teaspoon of batter for each cookie about 3 inches apart onto nonstick-pad-lined or buttered baking sheet, then spread each dollop of batter into a 3-inch round with offset spatula or back of a spoon.
  3. Bake cookies 1 sheet at a time in middle of oven until edges are golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Working quickly, lift 1 cookie off sheet with a long flexible spatula, then roll it around pencil or chopstick to form a narrow cylinder. Immediately slide "cigarette" off chopstick or pencil and transfer to a rack to cool. Make more "cigarettes" in same manner. (If cookies become too brittle to roll, return to oven for 1 minute to soften.)
  4. Melt chocolate in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally, then remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat.
  5. When cookies are cool, working with 1 cookie at a time, dip 1/4 inch of tip of 1 end into melted chocolate ("ash"), letting excess drip off, and place on a parchment- or wax-paper-lined baking sheet.
  6. Let stand at room temperature until chocolate sets.
  7. Cookies can be made 2 days ahead and kept in an airtight container.
