Servings: 36 Cookies
Calories: 2kcal
Equipment
- Wire cooling rack
- Rubber spatula
Ingredients
- 1 package Ghirardelli white chocolate wafers 10oz
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- Green and yellow food coloring
- St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles
Instructions
- Divide the wafers into 3 bowls. Use one bowl at a time, starting with the white.
- Heat the wafers in the microwave for 15 seconds. Stir and repeat until almost all the wafers are melted. Continue stirring rapidly until smooth.
- Drop one cookie at a time into the white chocolate. Use a fork to take it out and set it on a wire rack. Continue, as quickly as possible, with all 12 cookies. Immediately decorate them with the sprinkles, while they’re still a little wet.
- Heat the second bowl in the microwave, following the instructions above. Once smooth, drop in enough food coloring to make a rich yellow color. Dip 12 cookies and decorate.
- Continue with the green bowl.
- Allow the cookies to set up for 2 hours.
Notes
- To prevent the chocolate from burning, heat it in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently.
- Adding cold food coloring to the melted chocolate can cause it to seize, which will ruin it for dipping. Try to warm it slightly before adding it.
- Apply sprinkles immediately after dipping each cookie to ensure they stick. Place a sheet of parchment paper under your wire rack for easy cleanup.
- A regular package of Oreos contains 36 cookies. I usually only make about 12 at a time. If you make 12, use 1/3 package of wafers. To make 24 use 2/3 the package.
