For a richer flavor, use brown butter. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, cooking until it turns a nutty brown color. Let it cool slightly before using in the recipe. Experiment with different extracts, such as lemon, orange, or peppermint, to create your own unique flavor combinations. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. (5 minutes). Beat in the egg and egg yolk one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts until well combined. (3 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. (2 minutes). Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)
04
StepTransfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a 3/4-inch round tip. Alternatively, use a large freezer bag with a corner snipped off. (2 minutes)
05
StepPipe the dough into 2-inch long logs onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie. (10 minutes). For best results, chill the cookie sheets in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to help the cookies maintain their shape during baking. (5 minutes)
06
StepBake for 12-15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. (15 minutes)
07
StepLet the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (15 minutes)
08
StepWhile the cookies are cooling, melt the chopped chocolate and 2 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. (5 minutes). Stir in the milk until the chocolate is glossy and fluid. (1 minute)
09
StepDip both ends of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate and place them on waxed paper to set. (10 minutes). For a decorative touch, sprinkle with chopped nuts or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.

Jun 28, 2025The chilling step is key! It really helps the cookies keep their shape. I skipped it the first time, and they spread out too much.
