# What You Need:
→ 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
10 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional)
# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In a larger bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
04 - Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
05 - Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
06 - Drop teaspoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing approximately 2 inches apart.
07 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until edges turn lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
08 - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped chocolate and coconut oil if using. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
09 - Dip half of each cooled vanilla wafer into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on parchment paper to set. Refrigerate for 10 minutes if a firmer coating is desired.
