Notes

  • Measurements: Always use a digital kitchen scale (the Amazon affiliate link opens in a new tab) in baking; it guarantees the best results.
  • Chocolate chips: I had caramel chocolate chips, but semi-sweet chocolate chips are perfectly ok.
  • I use Wilton Icing Colors (the Amazon affiliate link opens in a new tab). They are very potent; a tiny amount will be enough. Stir well and add a little more if you want a more vivid color.
  • Decoration: I used white and silver sugar pearls in three different sizes.
