Chocolate Covered Nutter Butter Football Cookies
Makes 30 cookies
Prep time: 30 minutes / Chill time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 30 Nutter Butter cookies
- 12 ounces chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate melts
Instructions
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each increment, until the chocolate is melted.
Dip each Nutter Butter in the chocolate to coat both sides, and remove from chocolate with a fork. Allow the excess melted chocolate to drip off into the bowl.
Once dipped, transfer each cookie to a piece of parchment paper to cool. Place the cookies in the refrigerator for faster set-up.
When the chocolate has cooled and hardened, melt the white chocolate melts according to the package instructions.
Transfer the melted white chocolate to a piping bag and cut off the tip. Pipe the laces on top of each football, then allow the white chocolate to cool and harden before serving.
FAQ
Can I make these cookies ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can make them up to 2-3 days in advance. Just store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
What kind of chocolate works best for dipping?
Melting wafers or chocolate chips (milk, dark, or semi-sweet) all work well. If you want a glossy finish, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to the melted chocolate.
How do I make the football laces on the cookies?
Use white decorating icing, melted white chocolate, or a white candy melt in a piping bag or squeeze bottle to draw the laces.
