Santa Claus Cookies


With Christmas fast approaching and Adeline hungry for a treat, this afternoon I made these Santa Claus cookies.  They're really not too difficult to put together and are super cute.  Here's the directions if you'd like to make them this holiday season.

yield 32 cookies

12 oz white baking chocolate, chopped
1 pkg Nutter Butter sandwich cookies
red colored sugar
32 vanilla or white chips
64 chocolate chips
32 red-hot candies

In a microwave, melt white chocolate at 70% power for 1 minute.  Stir.  Microwave at additional 20 second intervals, stirring until smooth.

Dip one end of each cookie into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.  Place on wire racks.  For Santa's hat, sprinkle red sugar on top park of the chocolate.  Press one vanilla chip off-center on hat for pom-pom ; let stand until chocolate is set.

Dip other end of each cookie into melted chocolate for beard, leaving center of cookie uncovered.  Place on wire racks.  With a dab of melted chocolate, attach chocolate chips for eyes and a red-hot for the nose.  Place on waxed paper until set.
