Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 10 oz. pkg. vanilla milk chips
- 2 tsp. solid shortening
- 30 sandwich cookies (chocolate or vanilla)
- 12 oz. pkg. semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tsp. solid shortening
- decorator frostings, sprinkles
Preparation:
Combine vanilla milk chips and 2 tsp. solid shortening in a small saucepan and melt over very low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Set aside.Combine semisweet chocolate chips and 2 tsp. solid shortening in another small saucepan and melt over very low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Set aside.
Line cookie sheets with waxed paper or parchment paper. Dip cookies, one at a time, into white or semisweet chocolate. Have fun with this part - dip half a cookie into the white chocolate, then another half into the semisweet chocolate. Or dip into one kind of chocolate, chill until set, then dip again into the other chocolate. You can also drizzle the contrasting chocolate over the set dipped cookies in patterns, like Christmas trees, stars, and bells. Sprinkle with colored sugars or non pareils or decorate with decorator frostings. You may need to reheat the chocolates over very low heat if it thickens or begins to harden during the dipping process.
Place the dipped cookies onto the lined cookie sheets and let stand until set (you may need to refrigerate the cookies to harden the chocolate depending on the weather).
