Ingredients
- 2 Cups plain flour
- Pinch salt
- 1 Cup butter unsalted
- 1/2 Cup powdered sugar
- 4 oz semi sweet chocolate chopped
- sprinkles
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour with the salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter on high speed for about a minute. Sift in the sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the flour and mix until just incorporated.
- Divide the dough into two portions. Form each one into a ball and then slightly flatten it with your hands. Wrap each disk and put it in the fridge for about 1/2 hour to chill.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Using a 3 inch circle cutter, cut out as many as you can from each disk. Dough can be re rolled and cut again.
- Place cookies on the baking tray and bake for about 12 – 15 minutes. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Place the chocolate in a double boiler set over simmering water. Stir until it melts.
- When the cookies have cooled, drizzle over melted chocolate. Add sprinkles immediately so they stick to the chocolate.
- Allow the chocolate to dry completely. Store in layers in a tupperwear box between sheets of parchment paper.
