Description
A delightful holiday treat featuring chocolate-dipped cookies, perfect for Christmas celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup dark chocolate, melted (for dipping)
- Christmas-themed sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy.
- Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually blend in the flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Shape and Bake Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Chocolate Dipping: Once the cookies are cooled, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Dip half of each cookie into the melted chocolate and place them on wax paper.
- Decorate: Immediately sprinkle the dipped cookies with Christmas-themed sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is fully softened for easy mixing and smooth dough.
- For added flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of almond extract to the dough.
- If the dough becomes too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
