Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.
Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a mixer and beat until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, vanilla, flour, cocoa powder and salt. Beat on low speed until just combined.
Fill the cookie press with dough and press cookies onto the prepared sheet pans.
Bake each pan for 5-7 minutes or until just set. Cool for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely.
After all cookies have cooled, place the dark and white candy melts into two bowls. Microwave one bowl at a time in 30 second increments until melted, stir until smooth.
Dip the cookies halfway into the chocolate and decorate with sprinkles. If the dipping chocolate starts to harden, microwave for a few seconds to re-melt.
Let dry completely, then serve, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
