Description

Chocolate Dipped Wafer Cookies are a simple, no-bake sweet treat featuring crispy wafer cookies half-dipped in smooth, melted semi-sweet chocolate. This easy recipe requires only a few ingredients and minimal preparation time, making it perfect for holidays, parties, or satisfying quick dessert cravings.


Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1 package wafer cookies (vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry)

Chocolate Coating

  • 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate)

Optional Toppings

  • Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or drizzle chocolate (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20 to 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  3. Dip the wafers: Take each wafer cookie and dip it halfway into the melted chocolate. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off back into the bowl.
  4. Place cookies on sheet: Arrange the dipped wafers onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t touch each other.
  5. Add toppings: If desired, sprinkle toppings such as sprinkles, crushed nuts, or add a drizzle of chocolate over the dipped cookies while chocolate is still wet.
  6. Set the chocolate: Let the cookies set at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Alternatively, refrigerate them for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
  • For cleaner edges and less melting, chill the wafer cookies in the fridge before dipping.
  • White chocolate or dark chocolate can be used as alternatives for varied flavors.
  • These cookies make excellent holiday treats and edible gifts due to their eye-catching appearance and simplicity.
