How to make Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies with White Chocolate
Ingredients
- 1 batch Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies by Cooking with Carlee
- White chocolate melting wafers
- Holly berry sprinkles
- Food scale
- Light colored baking sheets
Directions
- Prepare the maple cinnamon cookie dough and refrigerate it for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Portion the dough into your desired size dough balls. I use a food scale to measure 1.5 oz dough balls for perfectly uniform cookies.
- Bake the cookies and allow them to cool completely before decorating.
- Melt the white chocolate of your choice in a microwave-safe bowl. Keep your microwave on half power to prevent the chocolate from overheating. I prefer using Ghirardelli melting wafers.
- Once melted, dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate. Lay them down on wax or parchment paper to dry. Repeat this process for all cookies.
- Allow the chocolate-dipped portion to set and harden.
- Pour any additional melted white chocolate into a piping bag or ziplock bag, then cut a small tip off the corner of the bag.
- Drizzle the chocolate over the dipped portion of the cookies.
- Before the drizzle sets, place holly berry sprinkles in the corner for a festive touch. Enjoy!
