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 for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Portion the dough into desired size dough balls. It’s best to use a food scale and measure out 1.5 oz dough balls for perfectly uniform cookies.
- Bake the cookies and allow them to fully cool before you begin decorating.
- Melt your white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at half power to prevent overheating. Ghirardelli melting wafers work great.
- Once the cookies have cooled, dip half of each cookie into the melted white chocolate and place them on wax or parchment paper to dry. Repeat this for all the cookies.
- Allow the chocolate-dipped portion to set and harden.
- Next, pour any leftover melted white chocolate into a piping bag or a ziplock bag, cutting off a small tip of the corner.
- Drizzle the chocolate over the dipped portion of the cookies.
- Before the drizzle sets, add holly berry sprinkles in the corner for a festive touch. Enjoy!
