When I think of anything dipped in chocolate I think of pure decadence, and these chocolate dipped cookies are not only dipped in white and dark chocolate, but they are full of rich milk chocolate on the inside and then drizzled with more chocolate on the outside.
If you are a chocolate lover or are trying hard not to be, these chocolate dipped cookies will turn your chocolate obsession up a few notches in just one bite.
These chocolate dipped chocolate chip cookies are so simple to make it’s almost silly, but I am all about quick, easy and delicious. The secret to this fast fix recipe starts with pre-made chocolate chip cookie dough, but no one will ever know.
What is the best chocolate for dipping?
You can use chocolate chips and place them in a microwavable safe dish along with a 1/2 tsp of shortening to give the chocolate a nice smooth consistency and flow when melted.
I like to use chocolate bark or chocolate candy coating, that has a microwavable melting tray, which makes melting the chocolate and dipping the cookies super easy.
How do you dip cookies in melted chocolate?
- Preheat oven to 35o degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Using your favorite pre-made chocolate chip cookie dough, break each cookie where scored and roll into a ball. Bake cookies for 14 minutes, until golden brown. Place cookies in freezer for 10 minutes so cookies can cool before dipping into melted chocolate.
- Using dark and white chocolate candy coating, melt in the microwave in one minute increments stirring until melted and smooth. Remove cookies from freezer and dip or drag half of the cookie into the melted chocolate and place on a piece of parchment paper to allow the chocolate harden.
- Once all the cookies have been dipped take remaining chocolate and place in a piping bag or ziplock bag and cut a small piece of the corner off and drizzle melted chocolate over the top. Let chocolate harden about 5 minutes and serve.
Can chocolate dipped cookies be frozen?
- Yes. Place the cookies in a single layer inside a sealable plastic container lined with parchment paper, layer another piece of parchment paper on top and continue layering cookies. Place in the freezer for up to a few months.
I promise these cookies will be kid approved and easy and fun to make. My favorite, favorite thing about this recipe is I didn’t have to dirty and clean a ton of dishes since I used refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough.
You can even use other varieties of pre-made dough such as sugar cookie or peanut butter cookie doughs.
However, if you want to make your own homemade chocolate chip cookie recipe and dip them in chocolate you totally can!
These chocolate dipped cookies are a fun and fast way to dress up your traditional chocolate chip cookies and make it look like you spent all day doing it, when really you didn’t. (shhhh).
