Description
Delicious chocolate-dipped marble cookies that combine the richness of chocolate with a classic vanilla flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g (2 sticks + 2 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened
- 150 g (¾ cup) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 320 g (2 ½ cups) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 150 g (5 oz) dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 tsp coconut oil or butter (for shine)
- Optional: chocolate sprinkles or sea salt flakes
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Split the dough in half. Leave one half plain (vanilla). To the other half, add the cocoa powder and mix until evenly combined.
- Take small pieces of each dough and lightly knead them together — just enough to create a marbled pattern (don’t overmix).
- Roll into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Slightly flatten the tops with your fingers.
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Melt chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (or microwave in 20-second bursts). Dip or drizzle chocolate over half of each cookie.
- Add sprinkles or sea salt while still wet, then let the chocolate set at room temperature or in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
- Do not overmix the dough to maintain the marbled effect.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
