These delightful cookies are perfect for the holiday season, combining a sweet and creamy flavor with a festive appearance.
Melt the white chocolate in a heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth.
Ensure the chocolate is melted evenly to avoid clumps.
Dip one end of each cookie into the melted chocolate and place them on wire racks.
Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing on the rack.
Sprinkle red sugar on the top part of the dipped chocolate to form Santa's hat.
Sprinkle immediately after dipping to ensure it sticks well.
Press a vanilla chip onto the hat for the pom-pom and let it set.
You can use a mini marshmallow cut in half as an alternative.
Dip the other end of each cookie into the melted chocolate to form the beard, leaving the center uncovered.
Hold the cookie steady to achieve a clean line.
Attach semisweet chocolate chips for the eyes and a red-hot candy for the nose using a dab of melted chocolate.
Use a toothpick to apply the melted chocolate precisely.
Place the cookies on waxed paper and let them set until the chocolate is firm.
Allow sufficient time for the chocolate to harden completely.
Serve the cookies on a festive plate and enjoy the holiday spirit.
Arrange the cookies in a decorative pattern for a festive presentation.
