Equipment
- chocolate fork optional
- meat fork optional
- glass measuring cup microwave safe
- small mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 12 each pecan sandies cookies or your favorite store-bought cookies
- 18 ounces (1½ bags) white chocolate chips divided
- 1 tablespoon shortening
- 2 teaspoons hot heavy cream plus additional (if needed) for desired consistency.
Instructions
- Freeze the cookies in a single layer for at least 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips and the shortening together in a microwave-safe bowl on medium/low power at 45 second intervals. Stir the chocolate between intervals until it is completely melted and smooth.
- Using a meat fork (or chocolate fork), dip one frozen cookie at a time into the melted chocolate, turning to coat both sides.
- Allow the excess chocolate to drip from the fork and back into the bowl for remaining cookies.
- Place the dipped cookies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and continue the same process with the remaining frozen cookies. Set aside.
- Melt the remaining ½ cup of chocolate morsels in the microwave on low power with 2 teaspoons of heavy cream, stirring occasionally as the chocolate melts.
- Divide the melted chocolate between two small bowls and add either red or blue gel food coloring to each bowl, stirring well until you reach your desired color intensity.
- Drizzle (or pipe) lines over each cookie using both colors in different directions. Allow the chocolate to set, or freeze the cookies until ready to serve.
