📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat.
2
In a stand mixer, combine the butter with the sugar and beat on medium speed until well combined.
3
Next, add the egg yolks and the vanilla or almond extract and beat until well combined.
(226g) unsalted butter, at room temperature1 cuplarge egg yolks3(30ml) milk2 tablespoonsvanilla or almond extract2 teaspoons
4
Then, add the dry ingredients and beat until the dough starts to form. Add the milk and finish beating until the dough is stiff.
5
Fit a large piping bag with an Ateco 825 tip. In a separate large piping bag, add about 1 cup of dough, pressing it down to the bottom of the bag. Drop the dough-filled bag into the other one. Pipe large swirls, about 1 ½ inches wide, placing 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
(226g) unsalted butter, at room temperature1 cupcup (126g) granulated sugar2/3½ cups all-purpose flour2(30ml) milk2 tablespoons
6
Bake one tray at a time on a room temperature baking sheet for ⏱️ 9-11 minutes.
7
Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for ⏱️ 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8
To dip in chocolate, wait until the cookies have cooled completely. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt half the chocolate wafers at 50% power in ⏱️ 30 second intervals; stir after each interval and continue until chocolate is melted. Reduce microwave time as needed so the chocolate does not burn.
9
Dip the cookies in the chocolate, tap off excess chocolate on the sides of the bowl and then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Add sprinkles if desired.
