Chocolate Dipped Butter Cookies

Butter cookies have always been one of my favorite cookies. This one is dipped in chocolate for double the treat. :)

I enjoyed this cookie dipped in chocolate, as well as plain. Both ways are equally delicious. The chocolate just makes it sweeter.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 2 sticks of butter, softened
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 2 eggs, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 cup of melted chocolate flavored almond bark    (approximately 4 bars)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° degrees.

Lightly grease a cookie sheet and set aside.

In a small bowl, add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, using a hand blender, mix together the softened butter and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and blend until smooth. 

Add the flour mixture and, using a spoon or fork, stir just until all ingredients are well blended.

Drop by rounded tablespoon fulls onto the prepared cookie sheet and place them two inches apart. (I usually measure out two tablespoons per cookie.) 

Cook the cookies for 10 - 12 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes and transfer them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

While the cookies are cooling, prepare the chocolate flavored almond bark according to the package directions.

Dip only half of the each cookie in the melted chocolate flavored almond bark coating. Place the cookies on wax paper. Let the cookies cool just until the chocolate has hardened. 

Enjoy with a nice glass of milk or your favorite beverage!

Makes 36 cookies.
