How to Make Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies with White Chocolate
Ingredients
- 1 batch Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies by Cooking with Carlee
- White chocolate melting wafers
- Holly berry sprinkles
- Food scale
- Light colored baking sheets
Directions
- Prepare the maple cinnamon cookie dough and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Portion the dough into desired size dough balls. I use a food scale and measure 1.5 oz dough balls to have perfectly uniform cookies.
- Bake the cookies and allow them to fully cool before decorating.
- Melt the white chocolate of choice in a microwave-safe bowl. Keep your microwave at half power to prevent overheating the chocolate. I use Ghirardelli melting wafers.
- Next, dip half of your cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate and lay it down on wax or parchment paper to dry. Repeat for all cookies.
- Let the chocolate dipped portion set and harden.
- Pour additional melted white chocolate into a piping bag (my preference because it is more sturdy) or a ziplock bag and cut a small tip off of the corner of the bag.
- Drizzle the chocolate over the dipped portion.
- Place holly berry sprinkles in the corner before the drizzle sets and firms up. Enjoy!

Tips to Make Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies with White Chocolate
- Use light-colored baking sheets to ensure even baking and prevent over-browning.
- Make sure the cookie dough is properly chilled; this will help them maintain their shape while baking.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate or decorations, like crushed nuts or candy sprinkles.
Variation
For a different twist, try adding chopped nuts or dried fruit to the cookie dough for added texture and flavor. You can also swap the white chocolate for dark chocolate for a richer taste.
FAQs
1. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the cookie dough up to a few days in advance. Just keep it refrigerated until you’re ready to bake.
2. What can I use if I don’t have a food scale?
If you don’t have a food scale, you can use a tablespoon to measure out equal portions of dough. A standard cookie scoop works well too!
3. How can I make the cookies chewier?
To make your cookies chewier, try adding an extra egg yolk or replacing some granulated sugar with brown sugar. This helps retain moisture in the cookies.
