Chocolate Cake Cookie Pops

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2
   Combine 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon butter and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
3. 3
   Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Add to the creamed butter mixture gradually, beating until dough is just combined.
4. 4
   Shape dough into small balls; place on the prepared baking sheet.
5. 5
   Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 17 minutes. Reshape into balls while still warm. Let cool, 20 to 30 minutes.
6. 6
   Place chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until softened, about 30 seconds; stir. Continue heating until melted, about 30 seconds more. Cool slightly, 3 to 5 minutes.
7. 7
   Dip cookie balls in the melted chocolate. Set on a plate lined with waxed paper until chocolate hardens, about 10 minutes.
