Instructions 

Prep Work

  • Gather your ingredients and supplies. It is important to have all the supplies ready to go once the chocolate has been melted.

Make the cookies

  • Chop the chocolate if needed and place in a bowl. Line the trays with parchment paper. Place the sprinkles in individual bowls.
  • Melt the chocolate in the microwave or a chocolate melting pot.
  • Once melted dip each wafer cookie ¼ to half way into the melted chocolate. Hold it above the bowl and allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
  • Place the wafer cookie down onto the parchment lined cookie sheet and decorate with sprinkles immediately. Repeat with all the cookies.
  • Allow the chocolate to harden.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

Recipe Expert Tips

  • Bowl: A small deep bowl works better than a shallow bowl when dipping cookies into melted chocolate. 
  • Dipping Chocolate: These days I prefer a good quality melting chocolate over candy melts or almond bark. It is much easier to melt to a smooth consistency and has a better flavor. As long as you are careful it will not seize as easily as candy melts will if you over heat it.
  • Parchment paper: Parchment paper is a must have when making these cookies or any other candy treat that is dipped in melted chocolate and placed on a cookie sheet to harden. The chocolate will not stick to parchment paper like it will if you use wax paper.
