CHOCOLATE-DIPPED COOKIES

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield about 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low; beat in the flour mixture in 2 batches until combined.
  • Transfer the batter to a resealable plastic bag and snip the corner to create a 1/2-inch opening. Pipe the batter into 1/2-by-3-inch strips, about 2 inches apart, on the prepared baking sheets. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are golden around the edges, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment. Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth. Dip the cookies halfway in the chocolate, letting the excess drip off, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until the chocolate just sets, 10 to 15 minutes.

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     dessert

Time 1h25m

Yield 30 to 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup milk chocolate morsels, such as Hershey's (6 ounces)
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup toasted pecans, minced and lightly salted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven.
  • Place the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on medium speed just until the butter and sugar are combined so you don't whip a lot of air into it. With the mixer on low, add the vanilla and scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture and mix just until the dough comes together.
  • Scoop out 1-ounce pieces of dough (about a tablespoon), roll each one into a ball, then roll it into a 2 1/2-inch-long log. Place the logs 2 inches apart on two sheet pans lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 to 17 minutes, until the cookies start to brown around the edges and spring back when lightly touched. Set aside to cool on the pans.
  • For the coating, place the chocolate and the butter in a heatproof bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir the mixture vigorously and continue to microwave in 30-second increments until the chocolate is just melted.
  • Drag half of the rounded top of each cookie through the chocolate and place it, chocolate side up, on a piece of parchment paper. While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle on the pecans. Repeat with all the cookies. Set aside for at least 30 minutes for the chocolate to firm.

CHOCOLATE HEART COOKIES



Chocolate Heart Cookies image

I found this last year in the "Taste of Home" magazine. They were an instant hit and left everyone craving more. Excellent for Valentines especially, but they are good any time of the year. I dip them in the milk chocolate and drizzle white - though the recipe calls for it the other way, you can chose to reverse the amounts between white and milk chocolate chips according to your taste.

Old Fashioned Butter Valentine Cookies Dipped in Chocolate image

This is my mother's recipe. She handed it down to me years ago and I have been making it with a few of my own changes for about 25 years now.

Categories     Desserts     Cookies

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted

Tips:

  • Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate to set properly.
  • If you want to add sprinkles or other decorations, do so immediately after dipping the cookies in chocolate. This will help the decorations to stick.
