Description
Chocolate Covered Wafer Cookies are delightfully crisp, chocolate-coated treats perfect for snacking, gifting, or serving at gatherings.
Ingredients
- 24 wafer cookies (vanilla or chocolate flavored)
- 8 oz good-quality chocolate (milk, dark, or semi-sweet), chopped
- 1–2 tsp coconut oil or shortening
- Optional toppings: sprinkles, chopped nuts, flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped chocolate and coconut oil or shortening. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until the chocolate is smooth and glossy. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each wafer cookie into the melted chocolate to coat completely, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place dipped cookies on the prepared baking sheet and immediately add desired toppings while chocolate is still soft.
- Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Freeze individually and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to two months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
- Microwave for 5–10 seconds for a soft, warm version just before serving.
- Use gluten-free wafer cookies and gluten-free chocolate for a GF version.
- Mix and match chocolate types or drizzle contrasting chocolate for a fun presentation.
