Ingredients

• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 40 grams Unsalted butter
• 30 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil or vegetable shortening

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, whisking until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to a thickness of about 0.5 cm (1/4 inch).

Step 7

Using a knife or a pizza cutter, slice the dough into thin sticks approximately 15 cm (6 inches) long and 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) wide.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the dough sticks onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 cm (1/2 inch) apart.

Step 9

Bake the sticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are lightly golden and firm to the touch. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 10

While the biscuit sticks are cooling, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring frequently.

Step 11

Once the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, transfer it to a tall, narrow glass for easy dipping.

Step 12

Dip each cooled biscuit stick into the melted chocolate, covering about 3/4 of the stick. Gently shake off any excess chocolate.

Step 13

Place the dipped sticks onto a sheet of parchment paper and allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for faster results.

Step 14

Store the Men's Pocky in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week and enjoy!
