Instructions
- Place the candy melts in separate bowls and heat, according to package instructions for the microwave or double boiler. Be careful not to overheat or get water into the bowls.
- Gently insert a toothpick or fork between the two cookie layers. Dip the cookie into the melted candy, coating all sides. Tap off the excess coating and place cookie on parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat to make 12 red and 12 white dipped cookies.
- Let the cookies sit until the coating is fully hardened. I like to pop them into the refrigerator for 10-20 minutes to help the coating set.
- Use a small round piping tip with the tube of green icing to draw a squiggle in the center of the cookie to make a “tree.” Start with a small back and forth motion for the top of the tree, moving in larger swirls down to the tree's base.
- Sprinkle nonpareils over the freshly piped icing and place a star candy at the top.
- Store cookies in a single layer in airtight containers at room temperature for 1-2 weeks.
Notes
- Candy melts and decorator's icing tubes are available in the baking aisle of many grocery stores, and at craft stores.
- *If making these cookies with or for children, check the recommended consumption age on the packages of any decorative sprinkles/candies you buy, in conjunction with your best judgment, to ensure that they don't present a choking hazard for little ones.
- If you find that the candy melts start to thicken as you're dipping the full batch of cookies, reheat them in the microwave at half power for 15- second increments, stirring.
