Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- Green food coloring
- Sprinkles for decoration
- Mini candy canes (optional)
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prepare for cookie dipping.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and completely melted.
- Add several drops of green food coloring to the melted white chocolate, stirring until you achieve a vibrant Christmas tree green color. Adjust color intensity as desired.
- Hold each Oreo cookie by its edge and carefully dip it into the green-tinted white chocolate, ensuring complete coverage. Gently tap the cookie on the bowl's side to remove excess chocolate.
- Place the dipped Oreo cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle festive holiday sprinkles over each cookie to create a decorative effect.
- Optional: If using mini candy canes, break them into small pieces and sprinkle on top for additional holiday flair.
- Allow cookies to set at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, or place in the refrigerator for faster setting, approximately 10 minutes.
- Once chocolate has completely hardened, transfer cookies to a serving platter or store in an airtight container.
Tips
- Chocolate Melting Mastery: Use low, consistent microwave heat and stir frequently to prevent chocolate from burning.
- Color Perfection: Add food coloring gradually to achieve your desired shade of festive green. Start with a few drops and increase as needed.
- Dipping Technique: Use a fork or dipping tool to help coat cookies evenly and remove excess chocolate smoothly.
- Sprinkle Strategy: Apply sprinkles immediately after dipping while chocolate is still wet to ensure they stick perfectly.
- Cooling Hack: For quicker setting, use the refrigerator, but don't leave cookies in too long to prevent condensation.
- Storage Tip: Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper to maintain their beautiful decoration.
