How to Make Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies

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