Homemade Berger Cookies

Homemade Berger cookies. Nothing further need be said.

Ingredients

For  Cookies

1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 tsp. sea salt

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 cup sugar

1 large egg

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup milk

For Icing

2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels

1 1/2 tsp. light corn syrup

1 tsp. vanilla extract

3/4 cup heavy cream

1 2/3 cups confectioners sugar, sifted

1/8 tsp. sea salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Lightly grease 2 baking sheets or line with parchment paper.

In large mixing bowl, beat together butter, salt, vanilla and baking powder.

Beat in sugar. Then beat in egg.

Add flour alternately with the milk.

Using a tablespoon cookie scoop or ice cream scoop, drop the dough onto the cookies sheets.

The flattened dough should be 1 1/2" in diameter. You can flatten the dough with the bottom of a greased drinking glass. Leave about 2" between each cookie.

Bake the cookies 10-11 minutes. Do not let the tops get brown. The cookies should have a cake-like consistency when baked.

Remove cookies from oven and cool right on the sheets.

To prepare the icing, place chocolate morsels, corn syrup, vanilla and heavy cream in a microwave-safe container or a saucepan.

Heat until very hot; the cream should begin to bubble.

Remove from heat and stir until smooth.

Beat in confectioners sugar and salt.

Let cool until room temperature.

When cooled, dip each cookie in the icing.

Set cookies back on cookie sheets.

Spread more icing evenly on top of the cookies.

Let set until firm.

Cookies can be stored in airtight containers or frozen for longer storage.

Makes 1 dozen cookies.
