Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups (300 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (2 sticks or 226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
Cookie Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Chocolate and Decorative Ingredients:
- 1 cup (170 grams) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) vegetable oil or shortening
- Sprinkles
- Crushed nuts
- Shredded coconut
- Sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Cream butter and sugars in a spacious mixing vessel until airy and pale, approximately 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Incorporate egg and vanilla essence, blending thoroughly until uniform.
- Separately, sift flour and salt together, then gently fold into the butter mixture on minimal speed until just integrated.
- Partition dough into two equal portions, forming cylindrical shapes roughly 2 inches thick, then encase in plastic wrap and chill for minimum 60 minutes.
- Heat oven to 350°F and position parchment paper on baking tray.
- Extract dough from refrigerator and slice into thin medallions approximately 1/4-inch thick, arranging them with slight separation on prepared surface.
- Roast cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges turn delicate golden, then rest on tray for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
- Melt chocolate chips with vegetable oil via microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until silky and glossy.
- Submerge cookie halves into molten chocolate, permitting excess to cascade off naturally.
- Position chocolate-drenched cookies onto clean parchment, adorning immediately with chosen garnishes like sprinkles, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut.
- Allow chocolate coating to solidify completely, optionally accelerating process through brief refrigeration lasting 15-20 minutes.
Notes
- Chill the dough thoroughly to prevent spreading and maintain the cookie’s shape during baking.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to keep the same tender texture.
- Experiment with different chocolate coatings like dark, milk, or white chocolate to create unique flavor combinations and visual appeal.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and optimal cookie consistency, especially the butter and egg.
