Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 2 (8 oz. or 9 oz.) packages sugar wafer cookies
Coating
- 1 (1 lb.) package white candy melts or 1 (24 oz.) package white bark coating
- 1 tbsp shortening
Decoration
- Assorted red, green, and white sprinkles (e.g., confetti sprinkles, nonpareils, etc.)
Instructions
- Melt the Candy Coating: Combine the white candy melts or bark coating with 1 tablespoon of shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals according to package directions, stirring well between each interval until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the Wafers: Take each sugar wafer cookie and dip about three-quarters of its length into the melted white candy coating. Allow any excess coating to drip back into the bowl to avoid clumps.
- Add Sprinkles: Immediately after dipping, sprinkle the coated portion of each wafer with your choice of festive red, green, and white sprinkles to add color and texture.
- Repeat and Set: Place the decorated wafers on wax paper and repeat the dipping and sprinkling process with the remaining cookies. Let the wafers stand at room temperature until the candy coating is completely set and hardened.
- Store: Once the coating has set, transfer the sugar wafers to an airtight container. Store them at room temperature for up to two weeks to maintain their crispness and freshness.
Notes
- Be careful not to overheat the candy melts as they can burn easily. Stir thoroughly between heating intervals.
- The shortening helps to thin the candy coating for easier dipping and a smoother finish.
- If desired, substitute with other types of sprinkles to suit various occasions or themes.
- Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the coating from melting or becoming sticky.
