Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 1/3 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/3 cups mini chocolate chips
Decorating
- 1 batch royal icing optional, find royal icing recipe here
- 1 batch simple butter frosting optional, find simple butter frosting recipe here
- assorted sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment or silicone baking mat. Set aside
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter until smooth.
- Add sugars and cream together. Add egg yolk, then vanilla. Beat until fully incorporated, and light and fluffy (30 seconds).
- Add salt, then add flour, one cup at a time.
- Add chocolate chips, and mix until just combined.
- Pre-heat your oven to 350*F.
- Form dough into two large balls. Put one ball of dough in a bag in the fridge, while you roll out and cut the other dough as desired. Use remaining dough from fridge once you have used the first ball of dough.
Cookie Pops
- Roll out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and cut with desired shape (a small heart in this case).
- Turn the cookie over and press a lollipop stick (these are 6"sticks), into the dough slightly. Use a bit of extra dough to cover the stick. Press the dough around the stick as best you can.
- Turn cookies back over, press down onto baking sheet slightly.
- Bake cookies in a pre-heated oven on prepared baking sheets for 10 to 12 minutes. The baked cookies will be nice and flat on the back, and should show no signs of the added dough.
- Cool completely before decorating.
Decorating Cookies
- Use a batch of Royal Icing tinted to your desired colors or a batch of this simple Butter Frosting and a variety of sprinkles to decorate. See notes below.
