Chocolate-Dipped Christmas Cookie Pops
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 12 wooden popsicle sticks
- 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- Assorted sprinkles and edible glitter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In a large bowl, cream 1/2 cup of softened butter and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and insert a wooden popsicle stick into each ball, flattening slightly to adhere.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookie pops to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 8 ounces of chopped semi-sweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and melted.
- Dip each cookie pop into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Immediately decorate with assorted sprinkles and edible glitter before the chocolate sets.
- Place the decorated cookie pops on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Serve and enjoy these festive Chocolate-Dipped Christmas Cookie Pops!
