Ingredients
- one 15-ounce package Oreos I used mint, you can use regular or Double Stuf
- 10- ounce package Ghirardelli milk chocolate melts
- 10- ounce package Ghirardelli white chocolate melts optional but necessary if you want double-dipped cookies
- assorted Christmas sprinkles as desired
- Red food coloring optional and as desired
- green food coloring optional and as desired
Instructions
- To a medium, microwave-safe bowl, melt the Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Melting Wafers according to package directions.
- If you want some or all of your cookies to be double-dipped (white chocolate on one side/half), melt the Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers* (See Notes) in a separate medium, microwave-safe bowl.
- Place a piece of wax paper under a wire rack, and using a fork, dip the Oreos in the melted milk chocolate, allow the excess to run off in between the tines of the fork, and gently place on the rack. If you plan to double dip in white chocolate, allow the milk to fully set before picking the cookie up with your fingers and dipping half in the melted which chocolate.
- Add the sprinkles before the chocolate sets up.
- Optionally, add red and/or green food coloring to melted white chocolate until desired color intensity and shade is reached, transfer to small plastic baggies, snip the corners, and carefully pipe/drizzle over the cookies.
- Allow the chocolate to set, about 1 hour at room temp. Tip - You can place the cookies in the fridge to set up but I find that the chocolate dulls a bit when they are flash-chilled this way and the final look of the cookies isn't as shiny and glossy so I wait for it to set up at room temp.
- Cookies will keep airtight for at least 2 weeks, in the fridge for at least 1 month, and in the freezer for up to 6 months. Like above, if you do refrigerate or freeze them, expect that the chocolate will dull a bit, but the taste is just fine. Some people even prefer these frozen!
Notes
- *For dipping, I used milk chocolate rather than semi-sweet chocolate although semi-sweet is fine, although a bit less traditional. With some of the cookies, after fully dipping them in milk chocolate, I dipped half in melted which chocolate. As an option, you could dip them in fully in white chocolate. Or dip them fully in white chocolate and then half in milk chocolate. Any combination of chocolate is fine.
- Tip: I highly recommend using chocolate candy melts or melting wafers. Specifically, the Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Melting Wafers are my go-to especially for dipping projects like this. Theyâre great because they melt smoothly, evenly, and easily. And stay smoothly melted for a longer period of time which is great for chocolate dipped Christmas Oreos.
- For the white chocolate, I used the Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers for the same reasons as mentioned.
- I do not like to melt chocolate chips for dipped cookie recipes although if you absolutely want to, you could. Read up on how to smoothly melt chocolate chips.
- However, white chocolate chips are definitely the most finicky and tricky to melt. Theyâre prone to seizing up and turning into a rock solid mass. Or mess, more specifically. So I donât recommend using them.
