Notes

Do not melt your butter in the recipe. Having cool butter helps to prevent the dough from spreading in the oven. You can chill your cookie dough before baking if needed.
If needed the egg can be replaced with either a 1/4 c of plain/vanilla yogurt or applesauce. 
Have fun decorating this cookie logs. I enjoy dunking them alternatingly in regular chocolate and drizzling with white chocolate and visa versa. Another option is dunking them in chocolate then sprinkling them with either sprinkles or your favorite finely chopped nuts. 
Once the cookies are baked and cooled the fun begins with dunking them in chocolate and decorating them. I like to dunk them in either almond bark or white chocolate and then drizzle over that with the other chocolate. You can dunk them and sprinkle your favorite finely chopped nut on top or sprinkles.
