Ingredients

For the Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter Ensure it’s at room temperature for easy creaming.
⅔ cup granulated sugar Adds sweetness and helps achieve light texture.
1 large egg Using at room temperature yields the best results.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the cookie flavor.
2 cups all-purpose flour Essential for cookie structure.
¼ teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness.
2 teaspoons milk Adjusts the dough for piping.

For the Chocolate Dipping

3 oz semi-sweet or milk chocolate Choose good quality for rich flavor.
3 tablespoons sprinkles Add a fun and festive flair.

Instructions

Cookie Preparation

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Incorporate egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
Gradually add flour and salt; mix on low until just combined.
Adjust dough consistency by adding milk until it's pipeable.
Pipe 2-inch swirls onto lined baking sheets.
Chill piped cookies in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) while cookies chill.
Bake cookies for about 15 minutes, until edges are golden.
Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Melt chocolate until smooth.
Dip ⅔ of each cookie in chocolate and sprinkle with sprinkles.

Notes

Ensure butter and egg are at room temperature for best texture. Chill the cookies for shape preservation while baking. Use quality chocolate for dipping.
