Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated for safety)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 8 oz semisweet or milk chocolate, melted (for coating)
Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Vanilla: Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the heat-treated flour and salt, mixing until fully combined.
- Mix in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to make it easier to roll.
Form the Balls:
- Shape the Dough: Once chilled, roll the dough into small, bite-sized balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Coat with Chocolate:
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave or double boiler, melt the semisweet or milk chocolate until smooth and glossy.
- Dip the Balls: Using a fork or skewer, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the ball back onto the parchment paper.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the coated balls for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Garnish (Optional): Drizzle with white chocolate or sprinkle with crushed nuts or sea salt for an extra touch.
