How to Make Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies with White Chocolate

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:

1. Prepare the maple cinnamon cookie dough and refrigerate it for a minimum of 30 minutes.
2. Portion the dough into the desired size dough balls. It’s helpful to use a food scale and measure 1.5 oz dough balls for perfectly uniform cookies.
3. Bake the cookies and let them cool fully before decorating.
4. Melt your choice of white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Keep your microwave at half power to prevent overheating the chocolate. Ghirardelli melting wafers work great!
5. Dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate and lay it down on wax or parchment paper to dry. Repeat this for all cookies.
6. Allow the chocolate-dipped portion to set and harden.
7. Pour additional melted white chocolate into a piping bag or a ziplock bag and cut a small tip off the corner.
8. Drizzle the chocolate over the dipped portion.
9. Before the drizzle sets, place holly berry sprinkles in the corner. Enjoy!
