My, my. One of the best recipes not to sweet and easy to work with. Easy and popular with Everyone! I am gifting a baker tool set and this cookie dough for our 4 year old and 7 year old grand nieces. Measuring out the ingredients on a scale is so much easier, Thank you for the tip Sam! Every recipe I have tried has been spot on. I can trust your wisdom and return to your site often.
Candescence,
Candice.

In reply to Heléne. Hi Helene! I just hold the sides of the cookie and press the face of the cookie into the chocolate then flip it over and place on the baking sheet. I hope that helps. :)

A video would have been a help to see how the cookie must be dipped in the chocolate.

In reply to Norma. Hi Norma! Unfortunately we haven't tried these with sourdough so we can't advise on how to do that.

In reply to Sam. I haven't made these yet, but was wondering what adjustments I'd need to make to make them sourdough?!

These cookies were amazing! They remind me of shortbread cookies I had in Scotland. Best sugar cookies I’ve made! We used royal icing for ours instead of the chocolate. I don’t rave about many recipes but this was worth writing a review for.

Will make with grandkids. I have not been able to buy chocolate wafers in Canada. So I’ll be tempering a Swiss Lindt chocolate instead. Tried this a few weeks ago with your cake pops recipe and it was successful. Nice and glossy and crackly.

These cookies are very easy to make and they turned out really pretty. I had a scalloped heart so I did not cover it completely at it was very cute. My family thought the vanilla goes better than the chocolate. The cookie itself tastes a little plain to me but maybe I am just not a huge fan of shortbread.

In reply to j. This dough should work fine for really any cookie cutter shape you'd like to use. You could certainly freeze the dough if needed, but I think you could refrigerate the dough up to 5 days wrapped tightly. If you do freeze it, I would probably pull the dough out a day in advance to thaw and then it will probably need to warm even a bit more at room temperature before rolling it out. :)

In reply to Sam.

Indeed they did, Sam. Say, your recipe inspired me to ask you this- would this recipe work with other molds, just as well? like similar sized shamrock molds for St Patricks Day? 🙂

Also thinking of freezing the dough days in advance if it’s ok….if I do that do you recommend baking straight from the freezer or chilling the dough overnight in the fridge? thanks in advance 🙂

In reply to j. Was the dough a bit dry? Were you still able to roll them out? How did they turn out?

This was my first time making these. Made them with 2 inch cutters. I actually took more time and chocolate, but the look was worth it- i dunked the cookie completely with a fork and it covered the entire cookie with the Ghiradelli melting wafers. the end result was fabulous. i made sure i trimmed the sides of excess chocolate. i used sprinkles on the top. i brought them to my choir rehearsal and everyone scarfed them up. everyone LOVED THEM!

In reply to Gretchen. Hi Gretchen! Chocolate chips will work. Sometimes the chocolate chips can get some white streaks in it as it dries and will take longer to dry, but they will taste excellent. :)
