Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 12 Oreo cookies
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- Red and blue sprinkles
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 12 Oreo cookies, 1 cup of white chocolate chips, and red and blue sprinkles. Make sure your workspace is clean and organized.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. This will prevent the dipped cookies from sticking and make for easy cleanup.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the 1 cup of white chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can burn.
- Once the chocolate is melted, take one Oreo cookie at a time and dip it into the melted white chocolate. Use a fork to help lift the cookie out of the chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
- After dipping, gently shake the fork to remove any remaining chocolate and place the dipped Oreo onto the prepared baking sheet.
- While the chocolate is still wet, immediately sprinkle red and blue sprinkles over the top of the dipped Oreo. This will ensure that the sprinkles stick to the chocolate.
- Repeat the dipping and sprinkling process for all 12 Oreo cookies, making sure to space them out on the baking sheet to prevent them from sticking together.
- Once all the cookies are dipped and decorated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, or until the white chocolate has fully set.
- After the chocolate has hardened, remove the cookies from the refrigerator. They are now ready to be enjoyed or packaged as a festive treat!
- Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips
- Melt the Chocolate Carefully: When melting the white chocolate chips, be sure to do it in short intervals (30 seconds at a time) to avoid burning. Stir in between to ensure even melting.
- Use Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality white chocolate chips. This will make a noticeable difference in taste and texture.
- Keep the Workspace Clean: Prepare your workspace by laying down parchment paper and organizing your ingredients. This will make the dipping process smoother and more enjoyable.
- Sprinkle While Wet: To ensure the red and blue sprinkles adhere well, sprinkle them on the cookies while the white chocolate is still wet. This will help create a vibrant and festive look.
- Chill for Perfect Set: Allow the dipped cookies to chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. This will help the chocolate set properly and make the cookies easier to handle.
- Storage Tips: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh for up to a week, making them a great treat to enjoy later!
