Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 200g of dairy-free butter (softened)
- 110g of powdered / icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon of high quality vanilla extract / vanilla bean paste
- 320g of all purpose / plain flour
- 1 heaped tablespoon of cornflour / cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon of caster sugar
- 200g of dairy-free dark chocolate
- Dairy-free milk (See step)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C fan and line a baking tray with grease proof paper.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, cream together the softened / room temperature butter, icing sugar and vanilla until smooth.
- Sift in the flour and cornflour. Mix until combined. If the mixture is too thick, add in a splash of dairy-free milk until a soft cookie dough.
- Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip nozzle. Use a reusable piping bag as these are less prone to splitting.
- Pipe shapes of the dough on the lined tray, making sure they have space in-between as the cookies will spread slightly when baking. Refer to video for example.
- Before baking, sprinkle each cookie with some sugar (optional but helps with the colour and add crunch).
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 10-12 minutes. Check after 12 minutes, then give them an extra few minutes. The cookies will be light in colour, with golden edges.
- Once baked, remove from the oven. They will be soft when out the oven, but will firm up as they cool.
- In the meantime, melt the chocolate either in a microwave or on the hob using a bain-marie method (a pan of boiling water on the hob, with a heat proof bowl to melt the chocolate in).
- When the cookies are cool, dunk each cookie in the chocolate, only half way then place on a lined tray.
- Chill in the fridge until the chocolate has set.
- Tuck in and enjoy!
