Instructions
Step 1: Make the Cookie Dough
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add vanilla extract and mix well.

Roll into small balls using your hands.

Place on a parchment-lined tray.
-
Refrigerate for about 15 minutes to firm up.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate
-
Melt chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth.
-
For a shiny professional finish, temper the chocolate if desired.
Step 4: Coat the Cookie Dough

Let excess chocolate drip off.

Use mini chocolate chips for easier rolling and better texture.

Chill dough well to prevent melting during dipping.
