Make the Cookie Batter-

Shape Cookies-

- Line 2 21x15 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Pipe about a 2 inch round rosette onto the prepared baking sheets leaving about 2 inches apart from each cookie. Repeat with all the batter making about 26-28 cookies.
Chill the Cookies-
- Once the cookies are piped onto the baking sheets, chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.
Bake the Cookies-
- Bake the cookies for about 12-14 minutes on 350°F or until the cookies are golden.
- Transfer the baked cookies onto a cooling rack and allow to completely cool. (Set aside the lined baking sheets for use again during decorating.)
Decorate the Cookies-
- Melt the desired chocolate with the desired method and dip half of the cookie into the chocolate and add back to the lined baking sheets. Top with desired toppings and repeat with all the cookies.
- Place the cookies back to the fridge until the chocolate has hardened.
- Serve and enjoy!
