Homemade Cookie Sticks With Chocolate
These homemade cookie sticks are so crisp and delicious that both kids and adults are going to love them. You can serve them plain with a little chocolate or jam for dipping on the side, or dip them in melted chocolate for an extra-special treat. Enjoy!
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened, at room temperature
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (315gr)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Cover
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven 350℉ / 180℃.
- In a bowl, mix the egg, softened butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
- Add the flour and baking powder. Mix with a spatula or your hands until you have a soft but not sticky dough.
- Take a small piece of dough, about 10gr or a leveled tablespoon. Form into a ball using your palms.
- Place the dough ball inside a fold of parchment paper and press it gently with a dough scraper or ruler.
- Keep pressing until you have the desired length and thickness. Reuse the parchment paper for the remaining dough.
- Place the cookie sticks on a lined baking tray, leaving about a finger space between them. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Let them rest for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool down completely.
- Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil. Dip half of each cookie stick into the melted chocolate and set aside until the chocolate has fully set. Alternatively, you can brush the chocolate onto the cookie sticks for a more rustic finish and a thinner layer of chocolate.
Notes
- You could leave the cookie sticks plain and serve them with a jam or chocolate or nut butter dip.
- Instead of maple syrup, you could use honey (NOT for kids under 12 months).
- Freezable (without the chocolate cover) for up to 2 months.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
