# Ingredient list:
→ Vanilla Wafers
01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
05 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 large egg
07 - 1 tablespoon milk
08 - 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
→ Dipping Chocolate
09 - 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped or chips
10 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional)
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
03 - In a larger bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
04 - Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
05 - Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
06 - Drop teaspoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
07 - Allow the wafers to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
08 - Combine chopped chocolate and optional coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and melted.
09 - Dip half of each cooled wafer into the melted chocolate, let excess drip off, then place on parchment paper. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to harden the chocolate if desired.
