  • Add the vanilla extract and the egg. Whisk some more.
  • With a rubber spatula, mix until the flour is fully incorporated.

  • Wrap you dough in a plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
  • Pre-heat the oven at 375F and prepare a baking tray with parchment or silicone mat.
  • On a clean surface and slightly dusted with flour, roll down the dough with a rolling pin. For evne cookies, use chop sticks on each side of the dough.
  • Using a cookie cutter of your choice, cut the cookies and place them on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12 minutes or until it is slightly golden.
  • Allow them to cool down before handling them.
  • In a large pot, filled with water, put some chocolate in a small pot and melt on a double boil (or bain-marie).
  • Dunk the cookies in the chocolate and place them on a cookie rack.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an air-tight container up to 5 days.
  • Make the dough ahead of time and store in the fridge up to 48 hours. Take out of the fridge 30 minutes before using it. 
  • Do not overwork the dough or your cookie will be hard. 
  • Do not skip the chilling part as it allows the fat to solidify and therefore to allow the cookie to stay in shape while cooking.
