Kitchen Tools You’ll Need
This recipe doesn’t require fancy gadgets, just a few reliable kitchen basics to keep everything simple and stress-free.
- Rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment
- 2 microwave-safe bowls, spoons
- Fork for dipping, small plastic bags (or piping bags) for drizzle
- Offset spatula (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Melt & dip (chocolate): In a bowl, melt milk/semi-sweet chips with 1 tsp coconut oil in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Dip 9 cookies, letting excess drip by tapping the fork on the bowl’s edge; place on parchment.
- Melt & dip (white): Melt white chips with 1 tsp coconut oil the same way; dip remaining 9 cookies and place on parchment.
- Add caps: Dip the bottom of each Rolo in a little melted chocolate and press onto the top of each cookie as the “ornament cap.”
- Drizzle & sparkle: Spoon remaining melted chocolates into small bags; snip tiny corners and drizzle over cookies. Add sprinkles immediately.
- Set: Refrigerate 15 minutes, or until firm. Peel off parchment and serve.
Pro Tips
- Smooth shell: Add a few extra drops of coconut oil if your chocolate seems thick.
- Neat edges: Use a fork to dip and a toothpick to nudge drips before setting.
- Color play: Try gold, red, or peppermint sprinkles for different themes.
