Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (312 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 12 ounces (340 g) high-quality white chocolate chips or bars
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl using a mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing slowly until dough forms. If too crumbly, add 1 teaspoon milk.
  6. Pinch small amounts of dough and roll into 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) balls. Arrange on baking sheets in clusters of 5–7 beads with a larger bead at the end to mimic a cross.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges begin to turn golden but centers remain pale.
  8. Cool cookies completely on wire racks, about 20 minutes.
  9. Melt white chocolate with coconut oil using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
  10. Dip each cookie halfway into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment to set. For thicker coating, dip again after 5 minutes.
  11. Let chocolate set at room temperature for 30 minutes or chill briefly in fridge.

Notes

Use almond flour for gluten-free version; swap coconut oil with butter for richer chocolate dip; melt chocolate gently to avoid seizing; cool cookies completely before dipping to prevent melting.
