Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract and egg yolks until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a long log, approximately 9 inches in length and 1 inch in diameter.
Cut each log into 2-inch pieces and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn a light golden color. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
Once the cookies are cool, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth.
Dip one end of each cookie into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off, and place it back on the parchment-lined baking sheets.
Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or place the cookies in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to speed up the process.
Serve and enjoy these delectable Chocolate Dipped Butterscotch Logs!
