Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 8 ounces White chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Edible glitter or white sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating on low speed until the dough comes together. It should be soft but not sticky.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it into a log about 1 inch in diameter. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Once the dough is chilled, slice it into 1/4-inch thick discs and arrange them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
While the cookies are cooling, melt the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil together in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval until smooth.
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cooled cookies using a spoon or piping bag.
Immediately sprinkle edible glitter or white sprinkles over the chocolate, if desired, for a frosty, icicle-like appearance.
Allow the white chocolate to set completely before serving or storing in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
