How to Make Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 batch Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookie dough
- White chocolate melting wafers
- Holly berry sprinkles
- Food scale
- Light-colored baking sheets
Directions:
- Make your maple cinnamon cookie dough and let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This is the secret to that perfect chewiness!
- Once chilled, use a food scale to portion out your dough into 1.5 oz balls. This ensures all your cookies will be uniform and bake evenly.
- Preheat your oven and bake the cookies. Once they’re out, resist the temptation to dig in right away — let them cool completely first!
- While the cookies are cooling, melt your white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Remember to set your microwave to half power to keep the chocolate from overheating.
- Dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate, then lay them down on a piece of wax or parchment paper to dry. Don’t worry, they won’t stick!
- Once all your cookies are dipped, let the chocolate harden. It’s worth the wait!
- For a decorative touch, pour some melted white chocolate into a piping bag (or a ziplock bag with a tiny tip cut off), and drizzle it over the dipped cookies.
- Before the drizzle sets, sprinkle some holly berry sprinkles on for that festive flair!
- Enjoy these delicious cookies with family and friends — the perfect holiday treat!

To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay good for about a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the cookies. Just make sure to separate them with parchment paper before putting them in a freezer-safe bag.

FAQs
