Equipment

Ingredients

½ cup butter softened but cold
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
5 tablespoon vegetable oil divided
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla.
Stir in flour and cornstarch the best you can, the mixture may be dry or crumbly at this point.
Beat in vegetable oil (up to 4 tablespoons) to provide enough moisture for the cookie dough to roll into a ball. Gather dough, with clean hands, into a ball then roll out onto a cookie sheet between two pieces of parchment paper. Dough should be about ⅛-¼ inch thick, or 10 inches by 13 inches.
Chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350℉.
Cut out cookies using a 3" cookie cutter, then cut out the center holes with a ½" cutter. You should have 12 cookies at this point. Roll the remainder of the dough ⅛-¼ inch thick and cut out about 4 more cookies.
Bake for 15 minutes, then let the cookies cool completely.
Melt chocolate and 1 tablespoon of oil in the microwave for about 1 minute, in 15-second intervals stirring each time just until fully melted.
Dip the bottom of each cookie into the melted chocolate, one at a time, placing on parchment- or silicon-mat lined baking sheet, chocolate side up. Let cool completely, about 1 hour room temperature.
Once chocolate has set, flip cookies over and drizzle the rest of the chocolate onto the other side of the cookies, with a spoon, in a zig-zag manner.
Let cool completely or until the chocolate has set, about 1hour room temperature then enjoy or store.

Notes

To speed up cool time, you can put the cookies in the fridge until chocolate has hardened.
