Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup (120g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (90g) light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) mini chocolate chips, plus extra for topping

Chocolate Coating

  • 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate or chocolate chips, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9 x 13-inch (23×33 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving about a 4-inch (10 cm) overhang on the long sides. Grease the bottom and sides to ensure easy removal after baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients in several batches, mixing thoroughly after each addition to form a soft dough. Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  4. Press Dough into Pan: Transfer the cookie dough into the prepared baking pan. Using clean hands, press and spread the dough evenly across the entire pan surface. Sprinkle additional mini chocolate chips over the top and lightly press them into the dough to adhere.
  5. Bake the Cookie Base: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and it feels set to the touch. Remove the pan from the oven and carefully lift the cookie out using the parchment paper overhang. Let it cool slightly.
  6. Cut Into Sticks: Transfer the cookie slab onto a flat surface. Using a pizza cutter, first slice strips along the shorter side to your desired width, then make a single cut along the middle of the longer side to create between 24 to 36 cookie sticks depending on thickness preference.
  7. Melt and Dip Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate or chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring vigorously after each until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
  8. Dip the Cookie Sticks: Dip each cookie stick about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then place them onto a baking sheet or parchment-lined tray. Once all are dipped, refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes until the chocolate coating sets.
  9. Serve: Enjoy the chocolate-dipped cookie sticks as a delightful snack, perfect when paired with a cold glass of milk.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming and better texture.
  • If you want thinner or thicker cookie sticks, adjust the cutting sizes accordingly between 24 to 36 sticks.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • You can use semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate depending on your preference for dipping.
  • For a nut-free version, double-check that all ingredients including chocolate chips have no cross-contamination with nuts.
