Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 1 package chocolate sandwich cookies
Chocolate Coating
- 2-3 cups dark or milk melting chocolate (formulated for melting or tempered)
- 1 cup white melting chocolate (formulated for melting or tempered)
Decorations
- Evergreen tree sprinkles
- Star sprinkles
- Gold sparkle sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace: Line a baking sheet that fits in the refrigerator with wax paper to place the dipped cookies on.
- Melt dark/milk chocolate: Gently melt 2-3 cups of dark or milk melting chocolate in a small bowl, using a microwave or double boiler, ensuring smooth consistency.
- Dip cookies: Submerge each cookie into the melted chocolate using a fork to lift it out, tap gently to remove excess chocolate, then place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Chill first batch: Dip up to 6 cookies per batch to maintain chocolate fluidity, then place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes until chocolate sets.
- Continue dipping: Repeat the dipping and chilling process until all cookies are coated. Reheat chocolate briefly if it cools and thickens between batches.
- Melt white chocolate: In a separate small bowl, gently melt 1 cup of white melting chocolate.
- Decorate with white chocolate: Dip the bottoms or sides of the chilled chocolate-coated cookies into the white chocolate to create snow-like hills, then place them on a new wax-paper lined baking sheet.
- Add sprinkles: Immediately apply evergreen tree sprinkles to the white chocolate, using a toothpick dabbed with melted chocolate to glue star sprinkles on top for a festive look.
- Chill decorated cookies: After decorating about 6 cookies, refrigerate again for a few minutes to set the white chocolate decorations.
- Optional detailing: Use a toothpick dipped in melted white chocolate to add snowy details on the evergreen tree sprinkles for extra charm.
- Storage: Store the finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, maintaining freshness and texture.
Notes
- Work in small batches for a glossy finish on the chocolate coating.
- Reheat melted chocolate gently at 50% power in short bursts to avoid burning.
- The white chocolate decorations can be personalized with a toothpick for intricate winter designs.
- Allow each layer of chocolate to fully set in the refrigerator before continuing.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness and flavor for up to two weeks.
