Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (for the cookie dough)
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, for dipping
- Sprinkles or crushed nuts for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Shape the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers are set. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Melt the Chocolate: While the cookies cool, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. Stir until smooth.
- Dip the Cookies: Once the cookies are cool, dip half of each cookie into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Add Decoration: If desired, sprinkle with crushed nuts or colorful sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Chill: Let the chocolate-covered cookies chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
- Serve and Enjoy: Share your delicious Chocolate Dipped Love Bites with your loved ones and celebrate the sweetness of Valentine’s Day!
