Vanilla Cookies Dipped In Chocolate – Little Hearts

For the cookies:
Preheat oven to 180 C

In a large bowl mix butter and sugar until fully combined and mixture becomes creamy. Add egg and vanilla and beat well, for about 2 minutes. Slowly mix in flour.

Drop dough by rounded teaspoon-sized scoops onto parchment-lined cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes. If using a cookie cutter then keep the bowl of dough in the fridge for 1 hour and with the help of a rolling pin, roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and cut in the shape desired.

Remove cookies from oven when done. Cool completely on a wire rack.

For the toppings:
In the top of a double boiler (with simmering water in the bottom) melt the chocolate and butter together completely until it becomes creamy.

Now take one cookie at a time and dip it in the liquid chocolate and cover with sprinkles. Set it back on the rack. Let it cool. I covered some cookies completely and for some I only coated about half of the cookie with chocolate.
