Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Chocolate Topped Melt Away Cookies

Jazlyn made these beautiful cookies by herself (except for taking them in and out of the stove). You can leave them plain, but Jazlyn wanted them topped with the chocolate. The girls loved the texture of the cookies because they melt in your mouth.

Chocolate Topped Melt Away Cookies

Cookies:
1 cup dairy free margarine, room temperature
1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract, or flavoring desired
Food coloring, optional
2 cups flour
Topping:
1/2 cup safe chocolate chips
2 tbsp dairy free margarine, room temperature

To make the cookies, use an electric mixer to cream the margarine and confectioner’s sugar. Add the vanilla and food coloring then beat again. Add the flour then beat until just combined. Roll a spoonful of the dough into a ball. Place the balls 1” apart on parchment lined baking sheets. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes or until the bottoms of the cookies are lightly golden. Cool completely.

To make the topping, microwave the chocolate and margarine until melted and smooth. Allow to cool until the chocolate is spreadable. Use a small knife or spoon to spread the chocolate topping onto the bottom of each cookie. Allow the chocolate to set before storing the cookies in an airtight container.

* The cookies barely change their shape while baking, so if you want a flatter cookie, flatten the balls into a disk on the baking sheet.
* You can omit the chocolate topping.
