Chocolate Dipped Cookies Recipe
Description
The Chocolate Dipped Cookies begin with a simple dough made from softened salted butter, powdered sugar, and all-purpose flour that is mixed and shaped into a ball. The dough is carefully rolled to a quarter-inch thickness inside a Ziploc bag, allowing easy shaping and cutting of uniform rectangular cookies. Baking at 350°F for about 15-18 minutes results in cookies with lightly browned edges and a soft center.
After cooling, the cookies are dipped halfway into melted chocolate, which then sets to give a rich chocolate complement. This method both simplifies the chocolate coating step and adds a visually appealing two-tone effect. The combination balances the sweetness and richness of butter and sugar with the smooth finish of chocolate.
These cookies can be served as a snack, dessert, or paired with coffee or tea. The chilling of dough before baking helps maintain shape and achieve even baking without spreading too thin. Using salted butter gives a slight savory note that enhances the sweetness.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups butter softened, salted
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 6-8 ounces melting chocolate
Instructions
- Beat butter until soft and creamy. Add powdered sugar and beat until smooth.
- Stir in flour until the mixture is well combined; press dough together until it forms a ball.
- Flatten the dough and place it in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag. Close the bag tightly. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough ¼" thick inside the bag. It will form a perfect square inside the bag!
- Carefully cut away the sides of the bag. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into rectangular shapes.
- Place cookies on ungreased cookie sheets about an inch apart. Place pans in the refrigerator.
- While the cookies are chilling, preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake cookies for 15-18 minutes or until the bottom edges are barely turning light brown.
- Let cookies cool on the pan for a few minutes, then remove to cooling racks.
- Melt chocolate according to package directions.
- Dip half the cookie into the chocolate, shake off the excess, and place them on parchment paper to set up. Add sprinkles or coarse sugar right after dipping, if desired.
- Let dry all the way before eating or gifting.
