Strawberry Shortcake Cookies
Description
This recipe layers strawberry jam between two Nilla wafer cookies to create a sweet, fruity filling encased by crisp wafers. The sandwiches are frozen to firm before being dipped in a smooth coating of melted white candy melts blended with shortening for shine and smoothness. After dipping, the coating sets to a firm shell that holds the cookies together while adding creamy sweetness.
Decorative elements such as sprinkles or additional drizzles of melted chocolate can be added while the coating is still tacky. The cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature to preserve their texture, as refrigeration can cause condensation. They make a portable and visually appealing dessert or party treat.
Ingredients
- 24 Nilla wafer cookies
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
- 12- ounce white candy melts bag
- 2 teaspoons shortening
- Embellishments of your choice
- strawberries optional
Instructions
- Evenly spread strawberry jam on the top side of 12 Nilla wafers. Top with another Nilla wafer. Place in the freezer for at least 4 hours, but up to 24 hours.
- In a double boiler, or in the microwave, melt candy melts and shortening. Stir until smooth.
- Place one cookie on a fork and dip into white chocolate, covering on all sides and tapping to get excess chocolate off. Remove to a cooling rack with parchment or aluminum foil underneath to catch the drippings.
- If adding sprinkles, do so while chocolate is tacky. Otherwise, additional melted chocolate drizzle or frosting can be added after candy melts have set. Allow to set at room temperature. You can place them in the fridge, but when removed, they will sweat.
- Do not store in the refrigerator, but in an airtight container in a cool place.
