Ingredients
- 3/4 pound unsalted butter, at 70 degrees
- 1 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla flavoring
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 ounces excellent semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 levels F.
Within the bowl of the electric mixer fitted having a paddle attachment, mix together the butter and 1 cup of sugar until they're just combined. Add some vanilla. Inside a medium bowl, sift together the flour and salt, adding these to the butter-and-sugar mixture. Mix on low speed before the dough starts to get together. Dump onto a surface dusted with flour and shape right into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic and chill for half an hour.
Roll the dough 1/2-inch thick and cut having a 3 by 1-inch finger-formed cutter. Put the cookies with an ungreased baking sheet and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 25 to 25 minutes, before the edges start to brown. Let it awesome to 70 degrees.
Once the cookies are awesome, put them on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Put 3 ounces from the chocolate inside a glass bowl and microwave on high power for thirty seconds. (Don't believe in microwave timer time that it together with your watch.) Stir having a wooden spoon. Still heat and stir in 30-second increments before the chocolate is simply melted. Add some remaining chocolate and let it spend time at 70 degrees, stirring frequently, until it's totally smooth. Stir intensely before the chocolate is smooth and slightly cooled stirring causes it to be glossier.
Drizzle 1/2 of every cookie with only enough chocolate to coat it.
