Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan) and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened dairy-free butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Sift in the all-purpose flour and cornflour. Mix gently until just combined; add dairy-free milk if needed to achieve a soft dough.
  4. Transfer dough to a piping bag and pipe desired shapes onto the prepared tray, spacing them an inch apart.
  5. (Optional) Sprinkle caster sugar over each piped cookie.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden around the edges. Cool on the tray for a few minutes.
  7. Melt the dairy-free dark chocolate in a microwave or bain-marie until smooth.
  8. Dip each cooled cookie halfway into melted chocolate and place on a lined tray. Chill until chocolate is set.
