Description

These fun Santa Claus cookies use premade Nutter Butter cookies, giving you more time to focus on decorating.

Each cookie is topped with melted white chocolate, red sprinkles for Santa's hat, and candies for his eyes and nose. They’re sweet, easy, and sure to make everyone smile.

Ingredients
  • 12 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped
  • 1 package Nutter Butter sandwich cookies (1 pound)
  • Red colored sugar
  • 32 vanilla or white chips
  • 64 miniature semisweet chocolate chips
  • 32 Red Hots candies
Instructions
  1. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 70% power for 1 minute. Stir and continue microwaving in 10-20 second intervals until smooth.
  2. Dip one end of each cookie into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on wire racks.
  3. Sprinkle red sugar on the top part of the melted chocolate to create Santa's hat. Place one vanilla chip off-center on the hat for a pompom. Allow to set.
  4. Dip the other end of each cookie into the melted chocolate for Santa’s beard, leaving the middle uncovered. Place on wire racks.
  5. Attach semisweet chips for eyes and a Red Hot candy for Santa’s nose using a dab of melted chocolate. Let cookies rest on waxed paper until set.
