Ingredients:
100 grams butter, softened (7 Tbsp., or 1 stick minus 1 Tbsp.)
125 grams powdered sugar (1 cup)
1 tsp. vanilla sugar (or substitute 1/4 cup powdered sugar plus 1 tsp. vanilla extract)
2 eggs
350 grams all-purpose flour (2 3/4 cups)
1 tsp. baking powder
400 grams chocolate (14 oz.)

Directions:

Step 1
Mix butter, powdered sugar and vanilla sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time and beat on high.

Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients (flour and baking powder), then add to the butter mixture. Stir with mixer until dough forms.

Step 3
Pre-heat waffle iron to high. Form the dough into a square and bake each square on the iron for 1-2 minutes.

Step 4
Immediately after removing from iron, cut the cookie into rectangle-shaped bars while it is still soft.

Step 5
Melt the chocolate and dip bars in the chocolate. Let cool on waxed paper or cooling rack.

Step 6
When the chocolate has solidified, they are ready to eat, or toss in your backpack for the next adventure!
