Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening
- 50 grams finely chopped nuts (optional)
- 30 grams sprinkles or flaky sea salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
Step 5
Divide the dough into two portions for easier handling. Roll each portion out on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Step 6
Cut out your desired shapes using cookie cutters, then transfer the shapes to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 7
Chill the cookies in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to prevent spreading.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn golden. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 9
While the cookies are cooling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy.
Step 10
Dip each cooled cookie halfway into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Lay the dipped cookies onto a sheet of parchment paper.
Step 11
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with your desired toppings, such as finely chopped nuts, sprinkles, or flaky sea salt.
Step 12
Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature, or speed up the process by placing the cookies in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Step 13
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy your gourmet treat!
