Ingredients
Scale
Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies
- 1 batch Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookie dough (prepared according to Cooking with Carlee’s recipe)
Decorations
- White chocolate melting wafers (e.g., Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers)
- Holly berry sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Make the maple cinnamon cookie dough according to the original recipe and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to firm up the dough.
- Portion the dough: Use a food scale to measure 1.5 oz portions of dough to ensure uniform cookie sizes. Roll these portions into dough balls.
- Bake the cookies: Place the dough balls on a light-colored baking sheet and bake them for 24 minutes. The cookies are done when the centers are puffed, slightly cracked, and the edges are firm but not caved in. Remove from oven and allow to fully cool.
- Melt the white chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate wafers at half power in short intervals to prevent overheating, stirring between intervals until smooth.
- Dip the cookies: Dip half of each fully cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate. Lay the dipped cookies on wax or parchment paper and allow the chocolate to harden.
- Drizzle additional chocolate: Pour some melted white chocolate into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a small corner cut off. Drizzle the chocolate over the dipped portion of each cookie.
- Add sprinkles: While the drizzle is still wet, sprinkle holly berry sprinkles on the cookies. Let the chocolate drizzle set completely before serving. Enjoy your festive cookies!
Notes
- Do not over-bake the cookies; they should be soft and chewy with puffed centers and slightly cracked tops.
- Using a food scale ensures all cookies are the same size for even baking.
- Opt for light-colored baking sheets to avoid burnt bottoms.
- Chill the dough before baking to improve texture and handling.
- Melt chocolate slowly at low power to prevent scorching and maintain smooth texture.
