Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 batch Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookie dough (prepared according to Cooking with Carlee’s recipe)
Decoration
- White chocolate melting wafers (such as Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers), amount as needed for dipping and drizzling
- Holly berry sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Dough: Prepare the maple cinnamon cookie dough according to the Cooking with Carlee recipe instructions. Once mixed, refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to chill and help with handling.
- Portion Dough: Using a food scale, measure out 1.5-ounce portions of dough and shape into uniform dough balls. This ensures even-sized cookies for consistent baking.
- Bake Cookies: Arrange the dough balls on light-colored baking sheets and bake according to the original recipe’s temperature and timing. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before proceeding to decorate.
- Melt White Chocolate: Place white chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave at half power. Stir every 15-20 seconds to prevent overheating until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip Cookies: Dip half of each fully cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate. Place the dipped cookies onto wax or parchment paper to set and harden.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer remaining melted white chocolate into a piping bag or ziplock bag. Cut a small tip off the corner and drizzle the chocolate over the white chocolate-dipped section of each cookie for decorative effect.
- Garnish: Immediately sprinkle holly berry sprinkles onto the drizzled chocolate before it sets to ensure they adhere well.
- Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate to fully harden at room temperature before serving. Enjoy your festive, chewy maple cinnamon cookies with creamy white chocolate and colorful sprinkles!
Notes
- Refrigerating the dough helps prevent spreading and allows easier handling when shaping the cookies.
- Using a food scale for portioning ensures uniform cookies that bake evenly.
- Half power in the microwave helps melt the chocolate gently without burning it.
- Let the cookies cool completely before dipping to avoid melting or cracking the white chocolate coating.
- Use light-colored baking sheets to prevent excessive browning on the bottoms of the cookies.
- The holly berry sprinkles add a festive touch, perfect for holiday occasions.
