Did you know that today is National Cookie Day?   What better month to put a day for cookies then in December?   I love the idea of sharing cookies at this time of year since so many people bake for the holidays.

The one problem I had with this task is that I just participated in Christmas Cookies Week so I used some of my new holiday cookies for that.  I have a lot of cookie recipes on my blog and it’s always hard to come up with something new or that I haven’t done before.  I started looking around and I found the perfect cookie.

Everything you need to make Chocolate Dipped butter Cookies

These Chocolate Dipped Butter Cookies immediately caught my eye.  Butter cookies always remind me of the cookies that come in the blue tins that people set out at the holiday. While the cookies themselves caught my eye what really made me click on the recipe was the chocolate covering half of the cookie and then the sprinkles on top.

The cookies are simply stunning and they aren’t very hard to make.   I mean, the cookies only have 5 ingredients in them.  The hardest part of making them was piping the dough out of a piping bag and tip.  That dough is thick! Seriously, get your arms ready because you are going to need a bit of strength.

Pipe Butter Cookies before baking

Once the cookies are piped and cooked they need to cool.  I then dipped them in milk chocolate but you could use white chocolate or even candy melts to achieve the look you want.  I was a little worried about finding the right sprinkles but I think these are simply perfect.

Chocolate Dipped Butter Cookies

You can use any type of sprinkles you have on hand and again use ones that go with the holiday or theme you are baking for.  Since these have pink and blue sprinkles they would be awesome for a baby shower or a kids party.   Get creative with it!
