Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 16 ounces nut-free chocolate melting wafers
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 3
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and then stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Step 6
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between them.
Step 8
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once the cookies have cooled completely, melt the nut-free chocolate melting wafers in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth and melted.
Step 10
Dip each cookie halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off, and then place them back on the parchment paper to set. For a faster setting, you can refrigerate them for a few minutes.
Step 11
Serve the nut-free chocolate-covered cookies and store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
