What is the best chocolate for dipping?

You can use chocolate chips and place them in a microwavable safe dish along with a 1/2 tsp of shortening to give the chocolate a nice smooth consistency and flow when melted.

I like to use chocolate bark or chocolate candy coating,that has a microwavable melting tray, which makes melting the chocolate and dipping the cookies super easy.

How do you dip cookies in melted chocolate?

  1. Preheat oven to 35o degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Using your favorite pre-made chocolate chip cookie dough, break each cookie where scored and roll into a ball. Bake cookies for 14 minutes, until golden brown. Place cookies in freezer for 10 minutes so cookies can cool before dipping into melted chocolate.Chocolate Dipped Cookies Recipe | The Food Cafe (3)

Can chocolate dipped cookies be frozen?

  • Yes. Place the cookies in a single layer inside a sealable plastic container lined with parchment paper, layer another piece of parchment paper on top and continue layering cookies. Place in the freezer for up to a few months.

I promise these cookies will be kid approved and easy and fun to make. My favorite, favorite thing about this recipe is I didn’t have to dirty and clean a ton of dishes since I used refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough.
