Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing well until a soft dough forms.
Step 6
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a disk. Roll out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Step 7
Use a cookie cutter of your choice to cut out shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 9
Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 10
Meanwhile, melt the bittersweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth. Add the vegetable oil and mix well.
Step 11
Dip each cooled cookie halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
Step 12
Place the chocolate-dipped cookies on parchment paper and let them sit until the chocolate has set.
Step 13
Enjoy these delicious chocolate-covered cookies, or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
