Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the vanilla extract and salt.

- Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet.
- Press your thumb into the center of each cookie to create an indentation.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- While the cookies are baking, melt the chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Spoon the melted chocolate into the indentations of the cooled cookies.
- Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
