Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 batch Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookie dough by Cooking with Carlee
Decorations
- White chocolate melting wafers (preferably Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers)
- Holly berry sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare Dough: Make the maple cinnamon cookie dough as per the original recipe instructions, then refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to ensure ease of handling and better texture during baking.
- Portion Dough: Using a food scale, portion the dough into uniform 1.5 oz balls for even baking and consistent cookie size.
- Bake Cookies: Place dough balls on a light colored baking sheet and bake for approximately 24 minutes until centers are puffed, slightly cracked, and edges are firm but not collapsing when pressed lightly.
- Cool Completely: Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool fully on a wire rack to prepare for chocolate decoration.
- Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate wafers at half power in intervals, stirring between, to prevent overheating and ensure smooth texture.
- Dip Cookies: Dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate, then place on wax or parchment paper to set and harden.
- Prepare Drizzle: Transfer additional melted white chocolate into a piping bag or ziplock bag with a small cut at the corner for controlled drizzling.
- Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle the chocolate over the dipped portion of each cookie and immediately add holly berry sprinkles before the drizzle sets, creating a festive and elegant finish.
- Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate to fully harden, then serve and enjoy your beautifully decorated chewy maple cinnamon cookies.
Notes
- Do not over-bake the cookies; they should have puffed, slightly cracked centers and firm edges that don’t easily cave in when lightly pressed.
- Use a food scale for portioning dough to create uniform cookies that bake evenly.
- Opt for a light colored baking sheet to prevent the cookie bottoms from burning.
