How to Easily Dip Cookie Balls

To easily coat cookie balls with melted chocolate, add cookie balls, in batches, to bowl of melted chocolate. Then, use 2 forks to roll cookie balls in chocolate until evenly coated. Remove cookie balls with forks and allow excess chocolate to drip back into bowl before placing cookie balls on prepared baking sheet.

How to Store

Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator.

Note

If any chocolate remains after all balls are coated, store in tightly covered container at room temperature until ready to use for another use.

I made these for a Christmas Cookie exchange and they turned out great! Also, they look exactly like the picture. Tips: if melting the white chocolate in the microwave, melt on high but check and stir every thirty seconds. I made the mistake of putting the chocolate in for 2 minutes and some of the chocolate burned. Also, after dipping each ball, sprinkle with coconut right away or it won't "stick" as I discovered.

A little too cream cheese tasting.

I made the chocolate chip cookie version of this. They will probably be delicious but they look horrible! I have no idea how people could get them to look so heavenly smooth like in this picture. My guess is you can't...especially only using 2 forks to dip.

I love this recipe, they are not too sweet, are easy to make. You can decorate them so many different ways as well. This will be a tradition in our house for years to come! Yum! Thank you!

When I saw the picture I was hoping it was gluten free. It would be great if you featured gluten free Christmas baking recipes.

I just want to know if you can freeze these? <<< Response from Kraft Kitchens Expert, Wendy ~ Cookie balls can be frozen up to one month. >>>
