Answer:

(1)  A chef friend said that "hippenmasse" is a cookie that you fill with chocolate mousse or berries.

(2)  Hippenmasse or Hippen Paste - a German thin wafer cookie similar to a plain tuile or tulip paste, where you pipe out the batter in designs or spread the batter over a template and bake and form as required.
