Ingredients
Scale
Maple Cinnamon Cookie Dough
- 1 batch Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookie dough (prepared as per Cooking with Carlee’s recipe)
Decoration
- White chocolate melting wafers (such as Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers), quantity as needed for dipping and drizzling
- Holly berry sprinkles, quantity as needed for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Make the maple cinnamon cookie dough according to the Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookie recipe by Cooking with Carlee. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to firm it up for easier handling and better texture.
- Portion the Dough: Using a food scale, measure out dough balls of 1.5 ounces each to ensure uniformly sized cookies. Place them evenly spaced on light-colored baking sheets to promote even baking.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake the dough balls according to the original recipe instructions until the cookies are fully cooked but still soft. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before decorating to prevent melting the chocolate.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate wafers at half power in short intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. This prevents overheating and grainy texture.
- Dip the Cookies: Dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate. Place the dipped cookies on wax or parchment paper to dry completely and allow the chocolate to harden.
- Prepare for Drizzling: Transfer additional melted white chocolate into a piping bag or a sturdy ziplock bag. Cut a small tip off one corner to create a controlled drizzle effect.
- Decorate: Drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped side of each cookie in a decorative pattern. Before the drizzle sets, sprinkle holly berry sprinkles over the coated area to add a festive touch.
- Set and Serve: Let the chocolate fully harden at room temperature. Once set, the cookies are ready to enjoy or store for later.
Notes
- Using a food scale ensures uniform cookie sizes for even baking.
- Chocolate should be melted gently at half power to avoid burning and achieve smooth consistency.
- Allow cookies to fully cool before dipping to prevent melting the chocolate coating.
- White chocolate drizzle can be applied using a piping bag for more control or a ziplock bag for convenience.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For best results, use light-colored baking sheets to avoid excessive browning on the bottoms of the cookies.
