Chocolate Drizzle
These cookies are drizzled with a homemade chocolate drizzle. It's easy to make and extras store great in the refrigerator! To make the chocolate drizzle, you will need:
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 ½ tablespoon of half & half
- ½ cup confectioner's sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and stir in the chocolate chips. Allow the chocolate chips to melt and add the half & half. Once the ingredients have blended well, remove from the heat and stir in the confectioner's sugar, breaking up any bits of powdered sugar that remains. Stir in the vanilla extract and allow the sauce to cool down before drizzling on the cookies.
Piping chocolate drizzle makes drizzling the chocolate easier than using a fork or spoon. It's certainly doable to use utensils but using piping bottles makes the process even easier!
The homemade chocolate drizzle can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. This drizzle is made using half & half which reduces it's shelf-life.
