Method
 

  1. Make the Dough

  3. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

  6. Gradually add dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  7. Chill the Dough
  8. Cover and refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.

  12. Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls.
  13. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  15. Cool completely before dipping.
  16. Melt the Chocolate
  17. Melt chocolate wafers until smooth.
  18. Stir gently to avoid air bubbles.
  19. Dip the Cookies
  20. Dip half of each cooled cookie into melted chocolate.
  21. Place on parchment paper to set.
  22. Decorate (Optional)
  23. Drizzle with white chocolate or sprinkle freeze-dried strawberries while chocolate is still wet.
