How to Make Chocolate Cookies Romany Creams

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup desiccated coconut, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. **Chocolate Topping:** Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave (in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth).
  9. Once the cookies are completely cool, dip half of each cookie into the melted chocolate.
  10. Place the dipped cookies on a sheet of wax paper and immediately sprinkle with chocolate vermicelli.
  11. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
