2. In a mixing bowl add in butter and sugar and beat til creamy..
3. Add in vanilla and beat well..

5. Tip this dough into a plastic wrap and flatten it slightly.Place this in a metal plate and chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours..
6. Take the disc out of the fridge and roll it in a lightly floured surface(I used sheet of parchment paper underneath and floured it slightly and rolled the dough)..
7. Take a cookie cutter of your choice and dip it in flour and cut the dough with this..
8. Place this in tray and put it in fridge for 5 min.
9. Remove it and bake it in the oven for 7-10 min until light golden.
10. When it is cooked remove from the oven and cool it in a wire rack...
11. In the mean time melt the chocolate in a double boiler (Place a bowl of chopped chocolate over a bowl of simmering water,stir it till the chocolate melts and becomes smooth).If the chocolate gets too thick,you could add a tblspn of boiling water in the chocolate and stir it till it gets smooth.
12. Dip each cooled cookies in melted chocolate and arrange it in a plate.
13. You form any pattern or design in this...Let it rest for 1 hour till the chocolate sets..
