Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 ounces dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa), chopped
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour and salt. Gradually add to butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes (e.g., rounds or fingers). Place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cool on sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
Dip each biscuit halfway into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment-lined sheet. Refrigerate until chocolate sets, about 20 minutes.
Tips
For a cleaner dip, use a fork to hold the biscuit while dipping.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
If chocolate is too thick, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to thin it.
