Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough Ingredients

  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (312g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour/gluten-free mix for gluten-free option)

Chocolate Coating

  • 8 oz (225g) high-quality dark, milk, or white chocolate

Optional Toppings

  • Finely chopped nuts (pistachios, almonds, walnuts)
  • Sprinkles
  • Sea salt flakes
  • Crushed candies
  • Freeze-dried raspberries (for white chocolate dip)
  • Caramel sauce (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: Cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually stir in the flour until a firm yet pliable dough forms.
  2. Shape the Cookie Sticks: Roll the dough into a log about 1 inch thick. Slice into 4-inch long sticks or shape individually by hand for a rustic look. Arrange the sticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  3. Bake Until Golden: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookie sticks for 12-15 minutes, or until edges turn a lovely golden brown. Let cool completely to hold shape during dipping.
  4. Melt the Chocolate: Gently melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring often to prevent burning.
  5. Dip and Decorate: Dip cooled cookie sticks into melted chocolate, covering about two-thirds of each. Immediately add desired toppings such as crushed nuts or sprinkles. Place on wax paper or cooling rack until chocolate sets.
  6. Enjoy or Store: Once chocolate is firm, your cookie sticks are ready to enjoy or package as gifts.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before shaping to prevent spreading during baking.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for smooth melting and richer flavor.
  • Apply chocolate coating in thin layers to maintain perfect crunch-to-coating balance.
  • Add toppings immediately after dipping while chocolate is still wet for better adhesion.
  • Store finished cookie sticks in an airtight container at room temperature to preserve crunch.
  • For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour mix.
  • For vegan/dairy-free options, use vegan margarine or coconut oil, dairy-free chocolate, and egg substitutes like flax or chia eggs.
