How to Make Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies
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-sized dough balls. For uniform cookies, use a food scale to measure 1.5 oz dough balls.
- Bake the cookies and allow them to fully cool before decorating.
- Melt your preferred white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Keep the microwave at half power to avoid overheating the chocolate. Ghirardelli melting wafers work great for this.
- Dip half of your cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate and place it on wax or parchment paper to dry. Repeat this step for all cookies.
- Let the chocolate-dipped portion set and harden.
- Pour additional melted white chocolate into a piping bag or ziplock bag. Cut a small tip off the corner of the bag for easy drizzling.
- Drizzle the chocolate over the dipped portion of the cookie.
- Before the drizzle sets, place holly berry sprinkles in the corner.
- Enjoy your delicious cookies!
