How to Make Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies
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 it for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Portion the dough into your desired size dough balls. For uniform cookies, use a food scale to measure 1.5 oz dough balls.
- Bake the cookies and let them fully cool before decorating.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Remember to keep your microwave at half power to avoid overheating the chocolate. Ghirardelli melting wafers work great for this.
- Dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate. Place them on wax or parchment paper to dry. Repeat for all cookies.
- Allow the chocolate-dipped portion to set and harden.
- Pour additional melted white chocolate into a piping bag or a ziplock bag. Cut a small tip off the corner of the bag.
- Drizzle the chocolate over the dipped portion of the cookies.
- Before the drizzle sets, sprinkle holly berry sprinkles in the corner of each cookie. Enjoy!
How to Serve Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies

How to Store Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies
To keep your cookies fresh, place them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last for about 5-7 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the cookies. Just make sure they are in a freezer-safe container to maintain their flavor and texture.
