Step-by-Step Instructions for Shiroi Koibito
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together room temperature butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, mixing until combined.
  4. Sift in the all-purpose flour and mix on low speed until just combined.
  5. Portion out the dough onto the baking sheet, shaping each mound into rounds.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them during the last minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet.
  8. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until glossy and smooth.
  9. Once cooled, spread melted white chocolate on one cookie, top with another cookie to make a sandwich.
  10. Allow assembled cookies to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
