Decorating Sugar Cookies

I do a horrible job decorating cookies.  They always end up looking like a mess or I resort to just spreading blue frosting, red frosting, so on! But one thing that I really like to do with my sugar cookies is to dip them in chocolate and then add a topping such as M&Ms! It is easier to make it look nice and clean and they almost look fancy! 

Chocolate Dip for Sugar Cookies:

Ingredients:

• Chocolate (chocolate chips, baking chocolate, candy melts, etc.)
• 1-2 tablespoons of butter
• Sprinkles/Candy pieces (M&Ms, crushed cookies, sprinkles, etc.)

Directions:

1. Melt chocolate and butter on the stovetop or in a microwave safe bowl.  (Be careful when melting in the microwave as it doesn't take long for the chocolate to burn) Heat for ~30 seconds at a time or so, stirring often.
2. When you like the consistency such that it will stick to the cookies, dip the cooled sugar cookies into the chocolate.  I like to dip the cookie about halfway.
3. Place on wax paper to cool.
4. Sprinkle on topping.
5. Let cool.
6. ENJOY!

Notes:

• Choose your favorite chocolate and your favorite topping! 

See you in the kitchen!
