- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure preferred)
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate frosting
- 1 cup fondant or colored icing
- 1/4 cup edible gold or silver sprinkles
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl: combine flour, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
- Cream the butter and sugar together in a separate bowl until fluffy and pale, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients gradually, stirring gently until just combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Melt chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each cookie into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before placing on parchment paper to set.
