Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place dipped cookies on parchment paper and let chocolate set at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for faster setting.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- • Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this is crucial for achieving the perfect cookie texture. • Use room temperature ingredients for more consistent mixing and better cookie structure. • When creaming butter and sugar, beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy - this incorporates air and creates a tender cookie. • Don't overmix the dough after adding flour to prevent tough cookies. • Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent cookies from sticking. • For perfectly even cookies, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to measure dough. • Allow cookies to cool completely before dipping in white chocolate to prevent melting. • Melt white chocolate slowly and stir frequently to avoid burning. • For a professional look, tap the dipped cookie gently to remove excess chocolate. • Store cookies in a single layer to prevent chocolate from smudging.
