There are a variety of unique flavor combinations here, but all of these recipes are deliciously chocolatey and super luxurious.
Soft or crunchy, peanut butter or tahini, shortbread or wafers, there are so many types of cookie flavors. But there’s one thing for sure – adding chocolate will improve them all! There are so many kinds of cookies, so whether you are a stickler for traditional chocolate chips or if you’re wanting to branch out and try something new you’ll find a variety of chocolate covered cookie recipes in this list.

2. Chocolate Covered Tahini Cookies
You might know tahini as an ingredient in hummus, but it gives these crunchy cookies an incredible flavor. We love the sesame seeds sprinkled on the top that make them super adorable and a great option to give as a gift. They’re super simple and are vegan and gluten-free. In fact, they’re made with only a few ingredients, you’ve probably got everything in your pantry right now!

4. Chocolate-Covered Caramel-Filled Shortbread Cookies
Also known as Twix cookies, this recipe has a perfectly crisp buttery shortbread base topped with a chewy but sweet caramel and covered in chocolate. By using dark chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt on top as well as making a proper caramel actually make these better than a Twix bar (shhh!). Take these to your next gathering and watch them disappear in minutes.

Don’t be put off by the homemade marshmallow filling, it’s actually really easy and tastes so much better than store-bought marshmallows.

Personalize the color of the sprinkles on the top to match your color scheme or when gifting them to someone special!
7. Rolo Stuffed Chocolate Dipped Oreos
These delicious little bites of oreo and rolos are beautifully topped with small chocolate sprinkles that make them an absolute delight to make and serve. They’re super easy, just twist the oreos apart, top with a rolo (or other caramel candy), melt in the oven then press together and dip in chocolate. Easy! Feel free to mix up the sprinkles on top. I like chocolate sprinkles and crushed peanuts!

Chocolate and mint must surely be one of the best flavor combinations, especially on holidays! There are several elements to this cookie but don’t be put off. They are simple and it just takes a bit of patience. But you’ll soon be rewarded with these delicious wafer thin cookies stuffed with mint flavor and covered in chocolate.

With this version, you’re guaranteed a cookie that will impress at your next party or pot luck. They contain plenty of fiber and are a healthier option than many other cookies so they’re great for kids’ lunchboxes as well.
11. Chocolate-Dipped Almond Biscotti
Chocolate and almond is a delicious combo, and this biscotti takes traditional twice-baked cookies packed with almonds and covers them in dark chocolate. Perfect for seasonal gifting or as a treat to serve with coffee after supper, these biscotti also pair perfectly with a cup of earl gray if you’re after a true English afternoon tea experience.
12. Chocolate Dipped Butter Cookies
For me, butter cookies are the ultimate cookie! Flaky and buttery, with the perfect amount of crumble and crunch, this recipe has made them even better by dipping them in chocolate. The cookies get their beautiful swirls by piping the mixture before baking, but don’t be intimidated, it’s not as difficult as it looks! Add sprinkles in your color theme and bake them for birthdays, gatherings or just as a little treat.
