Time 30m

Yield Two dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, cracked
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon for cookie sheets
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk, plus an additional 1/4 cup for the chocolate dip
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix the flour, salt, baking powder and pepper in a bowl. Set aside. Grease 2 cookie sheets with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cream the remaining butter. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until incorporated. Add the egg, vanilla and 1 tablespoon milk. Add the flour mixture all at once. Beat until smooth.
  • Drop a heaping teaspoonful of dough onto the cookie sheets. Shape it into thin strips, 2 inches long. Bake until golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Place a rack on top of a cookie sheet. Set aside.
  • Melt the chocolate and milk together in a double boiler over low heat. Stir until blended.
  • Dip the tip of each cookie into the melted chocolate. Lay each cookie on the rack. Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 10 minutes.
