Description
Delicious cookies dipped in chocolate, perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- ¾ cup granulated white sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg (at room temperature)
- ¼ cup chocolate chips (I recommend Ghirardelli baking chips)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (depending on your chocolate, you may need to thin it with coconut oil or vegetable oil)
- sprinkles
Instructions
- To a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Set aside.
- To a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar for two minutes. It should be light and fluffy.
- Add in the vanilla extract and egg and beat an additional two minutes.
- Pour the flour mixture into the butter mixture and beat until just combined.
- At this point, your dough should be soft and pipeable. If your dough is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk and beat until combined.
- Transfer half of the dough to the piping bag (or large freezer bag) fitted with a large tip (I use Wilton 4B star tip). Pipe the dough into swirls (approximately 1 inch in width) to a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet into the fridge to chill while you preheat the oven.
- Refill your piping bag with the remaining cookie dough and continue piping swirls onto an additional baking sheet and move that one to the fridge, as well.
- Preheat the oven to 350° and bake the chilled cookies for 10-12 minutes or until just golden. They should not brown.
- Remove the cookies from the pan to cool and melt the chocolate.
- To a small microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips (and optional oil) and heat for 30 seconds, stir. Repeat as necessary until fully melted and smooth.
- Dip the cooled cookies halfway into the chocolate and then lay onto parchment paper to set. Immediately sprinkle with nonpareils or your preferred sprinkle.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
- Chilling the cookies before baking helps maintain their shape.
