Ingredients
Scale
Maple Cinnamon Cookie Dough
- 1 batch Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies dough (prepared and chilled as per Cooking with Carlee’s recipe)
Decorations
- White chocolate melting wafers (e.g., Ghirardelli, quantity as needed for dipping and drizzling)
- Holly berry sprinkles (for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Make the maple cinnamon cookie dough according to the recipe and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to ensure proper chilling and easier handling.
- Portion the dough: Use a food scale to measure 1.5-ounce portions of dough for uniform cookie sizes; roll each portion into dough balls.
- Bake the cookies: Bake the dough balls on light-colored baking sheets until done, then allow them to fully cool before decorating to prevent melting the chocolate.
- Melt the white chocolate: Place white chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and melt at half power to prevent overheating; stir occasionally until smooth.
- Dip the cookies: Dip half of each fully cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate, then place them on wax or parchment paper and allow the chocolate to set and harden.
- Prepare for drizzle: Pour additional melted white chocolate into a piping bag or a sturdy ziplock bag, cutting a small tip off the corner for controlled drizzling.
- Drizzle the chocolate: Drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped portion of each cookie to create an elegant pattern.
- Add sprinkles: Before the drizzle sets, sprinkle holly berry sprinkles on the cookies for a festive touch.
- Set and enjoy: Let the chocolate fully harden before serving and enjoy these festive chewy maple cinnamon cookies with white chocolate embellishments.
Notes
- Using a food scale ensures uniform cookie sizes for even baking and professional appearance.
- Melting the white chocolate at half power prevents burning and graininess.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before dipping to avoid melting the chocolate coating.
- Use light-colored baking sheets to help monitor cookie browning and prevent over-baking.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For a different flavor twist, consider using dark or milk chocolate wafers instead of white chocolate.
