Description
Chocolate-Dipped Wafer Cookies are crisp, light wafer cookies partially coated in smooth melted chocolate. Simple yet elegant, these no-bake treats are perfect for holidays, Valentine’s Day, dessert platters, or gifting.
Ingredients
Cookie
- 1 package plain or vanilla wafer cookies
Chocolate Coating
- 1½ cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Toppings (Optional)
- Valentine sprinkles or crushed nuts
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and to simplify cleanup.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted.
- Dip Wafers: Dip each wafer cookie halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off for a clean finish.
- Arrange Cookies: Place the dipped cookies onto the prepared baking sheet carefully to keep the chocolate coating intact.
- Add Toppings: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle Valentine-themed sprinkles or crushed nuts over the chocolate-coated portion for decoration and added texture.
- Chill Cookies: Refrigerate the tray for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens completely.
- Serve or Store: Once set, serve immediately or store the cookies in an airtight container for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Use dark, milk, or white chocolate according to your preference.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
- These cookies are great for cookie trays or edible gifts, especially during holidays or special occasions.
- You can freeze the dipped wafer cookies for longer storage; thaw before serving.
