CHOCOLATE-DIPPED COOKIES

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield about 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low; beat in the flour mixture in 2 batches until combined.
  • Transfer the batter to a resealable plastic bag and snip the corner to create a 1/2-inch opening. Pipe the batter into 1/2-by-3-inch strips, about 2 inches apart, on the prepared baking sheets. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are golden around the edges, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment. Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth. Dip the cookies halfway in the chocolate, letting the excess drip off, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until the chocolate just sets, 10 to 15 minutes.

COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Ree uses two flavors of store-bought dough to make the cookies for these shortcut frozen treats. Using ice cream from round pints (rather than a rectangular tub) lets you cut perfect circles to sandwich between the cookies. Dipped in melted chocolate and a flurry of sprinkles, they're a hit with both kids and adults.

Time 1h

Yield 6 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 tablespoons store-bought peanut butter cookie dough
12 tablespoons store-bought chocolate chip cookie dough
12 ounces chocolate chips
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
Sprinkles, for topping
2 pints vanilla bean ice cream, very cold

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Divide the peanut butter cookie dough into 6 portions (2 tablespoons each), roll into balls and place on a baking sheet; repeat with the chocolate chip cookie dough. Bake until the cookies are slightly crisp around the edges and baked through, 12 to 14 minutes.
  • While the cookies cool, make the ganache by adding the chocolate chips to a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream just until the edges begin to bubble, pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 1 minute. Stir until smooth, then set aside to cool, about 8 minutes.
  • Prepare a baking sheet with parchment and get everything lined up to assemble: the cookies, ganache and sprinkles. You need to move quickly so the ice cream stays cold. Grab the ice cream cartons and use a serrated or sharp knife to saw through the packaging, cutting each pint of ice cream into thirds, creating 6 ice cream rounds in total. Remove the packaging from the first ice cream round and sandwich it between one of the peanut butter cookies and one of the chocolate chip cookies. Dip the cookie sandwich into the ganache, covering half of it in chocolate. Next, cover the chocolate in sprinkles and place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to create 6 sandwiches. Place in the freezer to firm up and set for 10 minutes. Once set, devour, or wrap to enjoy later.

  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature of 350°F (175°C). This will help to prevent the cookies from over-browning.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely before dipping them in the chocolate ganache. This will help to prevent the ganache from melting.
  • Use a high-quality chocolate for the ganache. This will ensure that the ganache is rich and flavorful.
  • Allow the ganache to cool slightly before dipping the cookies. This will help to prevent the ganache from being too runny.
  • Sprinkle chopped nuts, sprinkles, or other decorations on the ganache before it sets. This will add extra flavor and visual appeal to the cookies.
