What are Chocolate Dipped Cookies?
Cookies dipped in chocolate are a delicious and popular treat made by taking baked cookies and partially coating them in melted chocolate. They combine the tasty flavors and textures of cookies with the rich decadence of chocolate, creating a sweet and satisfying bite. For this recipe, La Petit Biscuits are used. Le Petit Beurre cookies are a French buttery treat with a long and storied history. These classic cookies are a type of shortbread biscuit, known for their rectangular shape and slightly indented surface featuring the iconic "LU" logo, the brand that first introduced them in 1886. Made with simple ingredients like flour, butter, sugar, and a touch of salt, Le Petit Beurre boasts a delicate sweetness and a satisfyingly crisp, yet slightly crumbly texture. With their timeless flavor, versatility, and convenient size, they’re the perfect cookie for this recipe.
Tips
- Use high-quality chocolate for a classic touch, or get adventurous with chopped dark, milk, or white chocolate. Melting wafers are another great option—they melt smoothly and come in various colors for a fun twist.
- For an extra thick and decadent coating, dip your cookie once, let the chocolate set slightly, then dip again for a luxurious double layer.
- Don't stop at just chocolate! While you dip, get creative with toppings like chopped nuts, sea salt, crushed candy canes, or even a drizzle of white chocolate for a festive flair.
- Once dipped, let your cookies cool completely. Once set, arrange them on a plate for an impressive and oh-so-tempting display.
Can I Use Any Type Of Cookie?
Not all cookies are created equal. Soft and chewy varieties like chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, or peanut butter work best. Snickerdoodles or ginger snaps can work too, but their firmer texture might require a slightly thicker chocolate coating for better adhesion.
Can I Make The Cookies From Scratch Instead Of Using Store-Bought Cookies?
Of course! While this recipe uses store-bought cookies for ultimate ease, you can certainly make your own favorite cookie recipe. Just remember to let the cookies cool completely before dipping.
What Are Some Fun Toppings For These Cookies?
The possibilities are endless. Get creative with chopped nuts, sea salt, crushed candy canes, sprinkles, or even a drizzle of white chocolate for a festive touch.
How Long Does It Take To Make These Cookies?
With just a few minutes of prep and baking time for the cookies (depending on the store-bought dough you use), and some time for the chocolate to set, you can enjoy these delicious treats in under an hour.
Is This Recipe Vegan/Dairy-Free/Gluten-Free?
It depends on the ingredients you choose. There are vegan chocolate chips and melting wafers available, and you can use gluten-free cookie dough to make a version suitable for those with dietary restrictions. Just be sure to check the labels of your chosen ingredients.
