👪 FAQs

Does the quality of the white chocolate does make a difference?

Because there are so few ingredients, get the best quality white chocolate you can afford! It will make the cookies that much better!

Do the cookies need to be refrigerated?

Store finished cookies in an airtight covered container. No need to refrigerate!

Can you freeze cookies dipped in chocolate?

Yes and they freeze great! Once they harden, put in an airtight container and freeze. The cookies will thaw quickly and be ready for munching in no time!

💭 Top Tips

  • When you begin to melt the chocolate, avoid stirring it until it's a little more than halfway melted. Once it's melted enough, stir it gently to until it's completely smooth.
  • Once the chocolate is melted, keep it over a pan of warm water. It will keep it from setting up and you'll be able to work with it longer.
  • Place the cookies on wax or parchment paper to catch any drips. It will also make clean up a breeze!

📖 Variations

You can vary the decor as well if you like, by usingred candy meltsto drizzle some bright Valentine's Day color on the cookies, or little heart sprinkles. These 3 ingredient no bake cookies would be equally as pretty for Christmas! Top with crushed candy canes for holiday flair!

You can even press some heart shaped cake decorations into the chocolate before it hardens. The possibilities are endless!

These are just Valentine treats though - for Christmas, sprinkle with red and green or crushed candy canes - wouldn't that be yummy? 4th of July would be super cute with blue and red sprinkles. No holiday - just sprinkle them with chopped nuts or toasted coconut!

    I will need to make a big batch of these - I am sure they won't last long, so I also need a bigger cookie jar, too 🙂
