Description
These cookies are incredibly soft, light, and melt the second you bite into them. You don’t need eggs, fancy equipment, or even a lot of effort. Just simple ingredients, one bowl, and a little patience while they bake. The result? A delicate, buttery cookie with a crisp edge and a rich chocolate tip that’s perfect for gifting, holidays, or keeping all to yourself.
Ingredients
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 500g unsalted butter (room temp)
- 5 cups cake flour (plus up to 1/2 cup more if needed)
- Melted chocolate (for dipping)
Instructions
- Beat the butter until it’s creamy and smooth.
- Add the oil and beat for another 2 minutes until well mixed.
- Mix in the icing sugar and keep whisking until the mixture is stiff and creamy.
- Add the flour and use your hands to bring the dough together. It should feel soft, but not too sticky.
- If it sticks a lot to your hands, add up to ½ cup more flour.
- Fit a piping bag with a star nozzle.
- Pipe the dough directly onto a butter-greased baking sheet, keeping the nozzle straight up and down.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 12–14 minutes.
- They’re ready when the edges are just turning golden.
- Let them cool completely.
- Dip the ends in melted chocolate and place them on parchment paper to set.
- Once the chocolate firms up, store the cookies in an airtight container; they stay fresh for several days.
