Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 200 grams Milk or dark chocolate (chopped)
- 30 grams Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer or a whisk.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Step 4
Sift in the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing for a tender result.
Step 5
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip nozzle. Pipe long, thin strips (approximately 8-10 cm or 3-4 inches in length) onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving slight gaps between each strip.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow the sticks to cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 7
While the sticks cool, melt the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring gently. Alternatively, melt it in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each interval.
Step 8
Once cooled, dip one end of each stick into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Optionally, sprinkle the chocolate-dipped ends with sprinkles for added decoration.
Step 9
Place the dipped sticks on a sheet of parchment paper to set. Allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving or storing.
Step 10
Store the chocolate sticks in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy as a snack, dessert, or gift for friends and family!
