Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup salted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 4 oz baking chocolate bar (chopped)
  • 8 oz chocolate melts (amount depends if you want to coat a whole cookie of half)

Instruction

  • Let butter soften on the counter for about 30 minutes.
  • Beat butter with an electric mixer for about a minute. Turn off the mixer and add powdered sugar.
  • Start mixing in sugar on low speed so the dust doesn’t’ splash all over the counter and raise the speed to medium-high. Beat butter and sugar together for about a minute, until it turns lighter in color and fluffed.
  • Turn off the mixer to add the flour. Start mixing the flour in with a spatula and then switch to the mixer to beat it until dough looks like coarse crumbs.
  • Switch back to a spatula to finish mixing the dough. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface to shape into a log. (You can also flatten four sides of the log for square cookies.)
  • Wrap the dough into plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for chill for about an hour. 
  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • Take out the dough from the refrigerator. You can use the handle of a spatula to make little imprints into the cube to get scalloped edges on the cookies, or just leave it round. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough log into cookies that are about 1/3-1/4 inch thick.
  • Place cookies on parchment paper covered baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the edges start to golden.
  • Take out of the oven and cool on a wire rack.
