Ingredients

1 batch Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies by Cooking with Carlee
White chocolate melting wafers
Holly berry sprinkles
Food scale
Light colored baking sheets

Before diving into the directions, it’s worth noting that the Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies with White Chocolate can be customized. For instance, feel free to use dark or milk chocolate melting wafers if you prefer a different flavor profile.

Directions

Prepare the maple cinnamon cookie dough and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Portion the dough into desired size dough balls. I use a food scale and measure 1.5 oz dough balls to have perfectly uniform cookies.
Bake the cookies and allow them to fully cool before decorating.
Melt the white chocolate of choice in a microwave-safe bowl. Keep your microwave at half power to prevent overheating the chocolate. I use white chocolate Ghirardelli melting wafers.
Next, dip half of your cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate and lay it down on wax or parchment paper to dry. Repeat for all cookies.
Let the chocolate dipped portion set and harden.
Pour additional melted white chocolate into a piping bag (my preference because it is more sturdy) or ziplock bag and cut a small tip off of the corner of the bag.
Drizzle the chocolate over the dipped portion.
Place holly berry sprinkles in the corner before the drizzle sets and firms up. Enjoy!
