CHOCOLATE-DIPPED COOKIES

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.

Reduce the mixer speed to medium low; beat in the flour mixture in 2 batches until combined.
• Transfer the batter to a resealable plastic bag and snip the corner to create a 1/2-inch opening. Pipe the batter into 1/2-by-3-inch strips, about 2 inches apart, on the prepared baking sheets. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are golden around the edges, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

• Divide the dough in half. Roll each half between two large pieces of parchment paper into a rectangle with an even thickness of 1/8 inch. Slide each half onto a large baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and preferably overnight (so the flavors meld). Alternatively, chill to let the flavors meld, then roll out when ready to use.

• Dip a corner or half of each cookie into the chocolate, then place on waxed paper to let the chocolate set.
