Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 whole large egg
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder (low sodium)
• 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for chocolate)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together 0.5 cup of unsalted butter and 0.75 cup of granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 large egg to the butter mixture and beat until combined.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.5 teaspoon of low sodium baking powder, and 0.25 teaspoon of baking soda.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

While the cookies are cooling, melt 1.5 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring between each until smooth.

Step 9

Dip the cooled cookies halfway into the melted chocolate and place them back on parchment paper. Allow the chocolate to set, either at room temperature or by placing the cookies in the refrigerator for faster setting.

Step 10

Serve the low sodium chocolate covered cookies and enjoy this delectable treat!
