Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Spatula
- Cookie Scoop
- Parchment Paper
- Microwave-safe Bowl
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate for dipping
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients and tools you will need, including a mixing bowl, spatula, cookie scoop, parchment paper, and a microwave-safe bowl for melting chocolate.
- Cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Add the pure vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, portion out the dough into small balls, about one inch in diameter, and place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the dough balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate and coconut oil (if using). Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Dip each chilled dough ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are completely coated, and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Sprinkle additional toppings if desired before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate for another 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate coating is firm.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
For variations, consider adding nuts, using different types of chocolate, or incorporating flavor extracts.
