This past Valentine’s Day I chocolate dipped everything and it all started with this simple little Chocolate dipped sugar cookie. I dipped 189,987 strawberries, lol, and equally as many pretzel rods. I’ll be honest if I had more cabinet space I may have chocolate dipped even more things . In my opinion this cookie was the star of the show. This easy basic sugar cookie is one of my favorite recipes , and dipped in decadant chocolate it is over the top good.
