Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • * 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • * 1 cup brown sugar
  • * 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • * 1 large egg
  • * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • * 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • * 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • * 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • * 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • * 10 ounces white chocolate melting wafers
  • * 2 tablespoons holly berry sprinkles

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look soft.
  7. Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Melt the white chocolate according to package directions.
  9. Dip half of each cookie into melted white chocolate and place on parchment paper.
  10. Immediately add holly berry sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
  11. Let the chocolate harden completely before storing.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Chill the dough briefly if your kitchen is warm and the cookies spread too much. Make sure the cookies are fully cooled before dipping into white chocolate or the coating may slide off.
