Ingredients
For the cookies:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the chocolate dip:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Festive sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not over mix.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to ¼ inch thickness. Using a cookie cutter, cut out shapes and transfer to prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.
6. Place chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
