Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 ⅔ cups (335g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ cup (85g) mini chocolate chips
- ½ cup (100g) turbinado or coarse sugar (optional)
- 8 oz (226g) melting chocolate (dark, milk, or white)
- ⅓ cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare – Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Dough – In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until light and fluffy. Stir in the egg yolk.
- Combine Dry Ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and cornstarch. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, stirring after each addition.
- Add Chocolate Chips – Fold in mini chocolate chips and mix until well combined.
- Shape the Cookie Sticks – Take a tablespoon of dough, roll it into a smooth ball, then shape it into a 6-inch stick using your palms. If desired, roll the sticks in turbinado sugar for extra crunch.
- Chill the Dough – Place the shaped sticks on a tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes. This helps them hold their shape while baking.
- Bake – Arrange the cookie sticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 1-2 inches apart. Bake for 14 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Cool Completely – Allow the cookie sticks to cool before decorating.
- Decorate (Optional) – Dip each cooled cookie stick into melted chocolate and top with sprinkles. Let the chocolate set before serving.
Notes
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 10 days. Freeze for up to 3 months for longer storage.
- Dough Consistency: If the dough feels too dry, add 1 teaspoon of milk to improve texture.
- Prevent Spreading: Always chill the dough before baking to maintain the perfect stick shape.
- Dipping Tip: For best results, use high-quality chocolate for dipping and let it set at room temperature.
