Chocolate-Dipped Christmas Tree Cookies
Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix well.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape each part into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Roll out one disc of dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch on a lightly floured surface. Use a tree-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies and place them onto the prepared baking sheets.
-
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are firm. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
-
Dip each cooled cookie halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place on parchment paper to set.
-
Once the chocolate has set, decorate the cookies with sprinkles or other festive decorations.
-
Allow the chocolate to fully set before serving or storing in an airtight container.
