EASY CHRISTMAS COOKIE STICKS
INGREDIENTS
DOUGH
- 1 cup butter, very soft (almost melted)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp almond extract (or use more vanilla)
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2/3 cup mini chocolate chips
TOPPING
- 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup dark or milk chocolate chips
- Sprinkles
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cream butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat in egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and chocolate chips. Cover dough and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle shape that is about 1/4" thick. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into strips that are about 1" by 4".
- Place strips on parchment lined cookie sheets and bake at 375° for about 8-10 minutes or till lightly browned on the bottom edges. Let sit on pans for a couple minutes, then remove to cooling racks.
- Cool cookies completely. Melt each of the chips in a ziplock bag in the microwave at half power. Snip the corner and drizzle over the tops of the cookies. Add sprinkles.
NOTES
-Your butter must be almost melted, or the dough will be too stiff. You must also make sure to use a large egg, and don't emit the extracts. You can use only 2 3/4 cups of flour for a softer dough, but the cookie sticks will not hold their shape as well.
-It works best to drizzle a few cookies at a time so that you can add the sprinkles before the chocolate sets up.
