Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Clear out space in the refrigerator and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather equipment including mixing bowls and a piping bag.
  2. Line the Baking Sheets: Use parchment paper or silicone mats to line your baking sheets.
  3. Cream the Butter and Sugar: Combine butter and sugar in a mixing bowl, beat until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add Flavoring Ingredients: Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, mixing until fully combined.
  5. Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in flour and salt until the dough is smooth and slightly thick.
  6. Adjust Dough Consistency: Pipe a small swirl to check consistency; it should hold shape and not be too thick.
  7. Pipe the Cookies: Fill the piping bag and pipe swirls onto lined sheets, refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  8. Bake the Cookies: Bake for 14-17 minutes until edges turn light golden brown.
  9. Cool the Cookies: Let cool on baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. Melt the Chocolate for Dipping: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips in intervals until smooth, adding oil.
  11. Dip the Cookies: Dip the bottom half of each cookie in melted chocolate and allow excess to drip off.
  12. Add Garnish and Set: Sprinkle sea salt or nonpareil sprinkles before chocolate sets and let harden for 30 minutes.
