Instructions 

  • Bake the Shortbread Cookies following the directions.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely.
  • Place ½ cup of the Wilton Candy Melts into a Wilton decorating bag or a quart size ziplock bag and add the Crisco shortneing. If using a decorator bag secure the top with a rubber band. If using a sandwich bag twist the top up and secure with a rubber band.
  • Melt the candy melts in the microwave at 10 second intervals until liquid. Or place the bag is a pot of water on the stove set at the lowest setting and allow to melt.
  • Once the candy melts are melted squash the bag until the shortening has been mixed in with the melted candy melts making the chocolate thinner.
  • Snip a tiny hole in the corner or bottom of the bag and drizzle on to a cookie.
  • Immediately dip or sprinkle, chopped nuts, Christmas color sprinkles or Andes candy on the melted candy coating.
  • Decorate one cookie at a time and add the topping before the candy coating begins to harden.
  • Set each cookie onto a cooling rack or parchment paper covered cookie sheet.
  • Allow the candy coating to harden completely before storing in a single layer in an air tight container.
  • Place a sheet of parchment or wax paper between the cookie layers to prevent damage.
