Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 1 batch Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies prepared from your favorite recipe or the linked Cooking with Carlee recipe
For the White Chocolate Decoration
- 1 cup white chocolate melting wafers Ghirardelli brand recommended for best results
- 2 tablespoons holly berry sprinkles for a festive decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookie dough according to the recipe instructions, then chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading.
- Portion the chilled cookie dough into uniform 1.5-ounce balls. Using a food scale is recommended for consistently sized cookies.
- Bake the portioned cookie dough on a light-colored baking sheet until the edges are set and the tops are puffed. Transfer the baked cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.
- Melt the white chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 50% power in short intervals, stirring frequently, to ensure the chocolate melts smoothly without scorching.
- Dip one half of each completely cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the dipped cookies onto a sheet of parchment or wax paper.
- Allow the white chocolate on the cookies to set and harden completely at room temperature. This will create a firm base for the drizzle.
- Transfer the remaining melted white chocolate into a piping bag or a sturdy ziplock bag. Snip a very small piece off the corner to create a fine tip for drizzling.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate artfully over the already-hardened white chocolate portion of each cookie to create a beautiful, layered design.
- Immediately garnish the cookies with festive holly berry sprinkles while the drizzle is still wet, so they adhere properly. Let the cookies set completely, then serve and enjoy!

Notes
For perfectly soft and chewy cookies, be sure not to over-bake them; pull them from the oven when the centers are still puffy and the edges are just set. Using a light-colored baking sheet helps prevent the bottoms from browning too quickly. These cookies also freeze well—simply wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe container.
