Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 175 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams cornstarch
- 150 grams dark chocolate
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
Step 4
Sift the all-purpose flour and cornstarch together in a separate bowl. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Step 5
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Pipe 6-8 cm (2.5-3 inch) long fingers onto the prepared baking trays, leaving space between each cookie as they will spread slightly.
Step 6
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 7
Once the cookies are cool, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, or in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between.
Step 8
Dip one end of each cookie into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the dipped cookies onto a sheet of parchment paper and let the chocolate set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
