Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 batch Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookie dough (prepared according to Cooking with Carlee recipe)
Toppings
- 1 cup white chocolate melting wafers (such as Ghirardelli)
- 2 tablespoons holly berry sprinkles
Instructions
- Chill the dough: Refrigerate the prepared maple cinnamon cookie dough for at least 30 minutes. This resting period helps improve the texture and reduces spreading during baking.
- Preheat and portion: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Weigh out dough portions at approximately 1.5 ounces each, then place them evenly spaced on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies: Bake the cookies until the edges are firm and the centers puff up with small cracks, about 10-12 minutes depending on your oven.
- Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack to set their shape and texture before decorating.
- Melt the white chocolate: Melt the white chocolate wafers in the microwave at 50% power, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth to avoid burning.
- Dip and decorate: Dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate, then place on parchment paper. Drizzle additional melted white chocolate over the dipped portion and immediately sprinkle with holly berry sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Let chocolate set: Allow the cookies to rest at room temperature until the white chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes, before serving or storing.
Notes
- Chilling the dough is key to preventing excessive spreading and to help the cookies bake with the perfect chewy texture.
- Use good quality white chocolate melting wafers for easier melting and better flavor.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For faster chocolate setting, refrigerate the dipped cookies for 10-15 minutes after decorating.
- These cookies are excellent served with coffee or tea and make a festive holiday treat.
