Chocolate-dipped Potato Chip Cookies


Yield: About 24 cookies



Ingredients
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup reduced fat potato chips, crushed fine (put them in a zippered plastic bag and roll them with a rolling pin to crush them
1/4 cup pecans, toasted and chopped very fine
1/4 teaspoon salt (yes, really! Don't leave it out.)
8 tablespoons butter, cut into 8 pieces and slightly softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
1 large egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2. Combine potato chips, flour, pecans and salt in a bowl.
3. Beat butter and both sugars in a mixer until fluffy, about 3 minutes.Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
4. Slowly add flour mixture until completely combined.
5. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Flatten dough balls with your fingers until they are 1/4 inch thick.
6. Bake for 5 minutes, rotate cookie sheet and bake for another 5 minutes, watching the cookies during the second 5 minutes to make sure they don't get too brown. Cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, then cool completely on a rack.
7. Melt the chocolate slowly in a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Dip each cookie almost halfway in chocolate, place on a cookie sheet covered with waxed paper and refrigerate until chocolate has hardened.

White Fudge Dipped Easter Oreos





Bag of Oreo Cookies
Bag of Wilton White Candy Melts (I found mine at Michaels)
Food Decorating Paste or Food Coloring (red, yellow, blue and green)
White nonpareils Sprinkles


 Take half of the Oreos out of the package and set on plate so they are ready to go.  Melt candy according to package directions until smooth.  Divide white chocolate into 4 separate bowls then add paste or food coloring until desired color is reached.  Start with just a tiny drop so you get pastels :)   Stir then dip tops of oreos in chocolate.  Use spoon to spread evenly.  Sprinkle with sprinkles then place onto foil, parchment or wax paper to dry.  Continue dipping until Oreos and chocolate is used up.  Serve room temperature or chilled, Enjoy!!
