Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup butter, softened

  • ½ cup confectioners' sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 (12 ounce) package miniature chocolate chips, divided

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Mix flour, butter, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until dough is smooth. Reserve 1/4 the chocolate chips; stir remaining chips into dough until evenly distributed. Roll dough into 24 small logs and place a baking sheet.

  3. Bake in preheated oven until slightly golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in baking sheet for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

  4. Melt shortening in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; stir in reserved chocolate chips until melted, about 5 minutes. Dip cookies into chocolate and return to baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm.
