- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Fill your cookie press with the dough and attach your desired shape disc.
- Press the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 1 inch apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and melted.
- Dip the cooled cookies halfway into the melted chocolate and place them back on the wire rack to allow the chocolate to set.
- Once the chocolate has set, serve and enjoy!
