# What You'll Need:
→ Vanilla Wafers
01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
05 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 large egg
07 - 1 tablespoon milk
08 - 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
→ Dipping Chocolate
09 - 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
10 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
04 - Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
05 - Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
06 - Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, drop dough in small mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
07 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until edges turn lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
08 - Combine chopped chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
09 - Dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate. Allow excess to drip off, then place cookies on parchment paper. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to harden the chocolate.
