Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated.
Sift in the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water or in the microwave (in 20-second intervals, stirring each time). Allow the chocolate to cool slightly but remain pourable.
Flatten the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rough rectangle, about 1 cm thick.
Pour the cooled melted chocolate over the surface of the dough in a thin, even layer. Spread it gently with a spatula if needed.
Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from one of the long edges. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
Once chilled, slice the log into 0.5 cm thick rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Remove the Chocolate Ripples from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve with a warm beverage or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
