Ingredients

  • Wafer Sheets
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 cups confectioners sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 bag 12 ounces white chocolate chips
  • holiday sprinkles

Instructions

  • Blend together the softened butter, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract.
  • Slowly incorporate the confectioner's sugar and milk until the mixture comes together into a frosting consistency.
  • Place one wafer sheet (patterned side down) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Use an offset spatula to gently spread the peppermint buttercream frosting in an even layer onto the first wafer sheet.
  • Gently and evenly press the second wafer sheet (patterned side up) onto the frosting.
  • Freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Once frozen use a serrated knife to gently slice the cookies into bars.
  • Melt the white chocolate on low-power in a medium-size, microwave-safe bowl, and stir occasionally until completely melted and smooth.
  • Dip one end of the cut wafer cookies into the chocolate and place them back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Garnish the cookies immediately with sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
  • Keep the cookies chilled in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
