How to make Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies with White Chocolate
Ingredients:
- 1 batch Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies
- White chocolate melting wafers
- Holly berry sprinkles
Directions:
- Prepare the maple cinnamon cookie dough and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. This chilling helps the cookies maintain their shape and enhances their chewy texture.
- Once chilled, portion the dough into your desired size balls, around 1.5 ounces each for uniform cookies.
- Preheat your oven and bake the cookies until they are lightly golden, then allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the cookies are cooling, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Do this on half power to prevent overheating and ensure a smooth consistency.
- Dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Place the cookies on wax or parchment paper to dry.
- Repeat this process for all cookies. Once the chocolate-dipped portion is set and hardened, drizzle any remaining melted white chocolate over the cookies for an extra touch.
- Finish by adding holly berry sprinkles to make them festive and appealing. Serve these cookies on a decorative platter and enjoy!
