Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1 tsp Cinnamon ground
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter softened
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 3 tbsp Milk
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup Chocolate Chunks dark
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This incorporates air for a tender cookie.
- Whisk in the vanilla extract and milk until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Chilling helps prevent spreading.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies.
- Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Melt the dark chocolate chunks in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip one edge of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate and let the excess drip off.
- Place the dipped cookies on a parchment-lined plate and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator, layering them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Always store these cookies in the refrigerator, otherwise the chocolate will start to melt. When needed, take them out to serve and then return them to the refrigerator.
- The amount of cinnamon can be reduced to 3/4 – 1/2 teaspoon, if desired.
- For extra aroma and a subtle crunch, sprinkle a pinch of coarse turbinado sugar or a dusting of cinnamon on the cookies just before baking.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with coconut oil and use plant-based milk; this will also add a delicate coconut note.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before dipping in chocolate, and place them on parchment paper in the fridge for 15 minutes afterward to help the chocolate set.
- Add a festive touch by drizzling the dipped cookies with contrasting white or ruby chocolate, or by sprinkling finely chopped nuts, freeze-dried berries, or edible gold dust onto the wet chocolate.
Expert Tips
- Use high-quality chocolate for dipping for the best flavor and a smooth, glossy finish.
- If the chocolate is too thick for dipping, gently melt it with a small amount of coconut oil or shortening until it reaches the desired consistency.
- For a cleaner dipping process, use dipping tools or two forks to fully submerge and lift the cookies.
Storage Instructions
- Store these cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to prevent the chocolate from melting and to maintain their freshness.
