Very good and easy to mix up. I put the melted chocolate in a piping bag with a writing tip and zig-zagged across the cookies, instead of dipping. Then I melted white chocolate and drizzled that too. It made a nice pattern that looked great on my cookie plates.

very simple to make and they taste wonderful. Can be sprinkled with colored jimmies or nuts after dipping in chocolate to suit the season or mood. Everyone raved about this cookie. Will definetely be one of my holiday favorites
