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
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- 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.
- 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.
- Place cookies on sheet: Arrange the dipped wafers onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t touch each other.
- 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.
- 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.
