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

1. Prepare the maple cinnamon cookie dough and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
2. 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.
3. Bake the cookies and allow them to fully cool before decorating.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Let the chocolate dipped portion set and harden.
7. 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.
8. Drizzle the chocolate over the dipped portion.
9. Place holly berry sprinkles in the corner before the drizzle sets and firms up. Enjoy!

How to Store Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies with White Chocolate

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.
