How to Make White Chocolate Peppermint Covered Cookies

There's a good chance you've seen white chocolate covered cream- filled cookies in the grocery store. There's also a chance you've seen the ridiculous price tag. Instead of paying outrageous prices for this treat, why not make white chocolate peppermint cookies at home?

Things You'll Need

• 1 package cream filled cookies
• 1 (12 ounce) package white chocolate chips
• 1 bag crushed peppermints
• Water
• Double boiler
• Fork
• Wax paper
• Cookie sheet

Instructions

1. Fill bottom of double boiler with water and add chocolate chips to the top.

2. Allow the water to barely simmer until chocolate is melted.

3. Use a fork to dip each cream filled cookie into the chocolate. Be sure the cookie is completely covered before removing. Any open spaces will allow air to get in and make the cookie soggy.

4. Place chocolate covered cookies on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper and immediately sprinkle with crushed peppermints.

5. Place cookies in refrigerator until chocolate has set. Store in airtight container until ready to serve.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also use dark or milk chocolate, if you prefer.

• Do not allow the water to boil or the chocolate may scorch.
