There have been a number of summer birthdays in my current workplace, and I have promised all of the members of my department that I will bake them something delicious for their birthday. For Danielle, who I sit next to, I recently made her (and of course for the rest of the staff!) some white chocolate dipped chocolate chip cookies.
To make these cookies, I followed the same Allrecipes.com recipe I used here: http://madhuknitsandcooks.typepad.com/madhu_knits_and_cooks/2006/10/simple_chocolat.html
After baking the cookies and letting them cool, I then slowly melted about 1/2 – 2/3 cup of white chocolate chips in the microwave. You should be really careful with melting chocolate in a microwave by using a reduced power and only microwaving in 30 second or less increments until just melted. I then dipped the cookies in the melted white chocolate and used a butter knive to evenly spread the chocolate over a sizeable part of the cookie.
I would then place the dipped cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet, where they would then be placed in the fridge for about 45 minutes for the chocolate to harden (until the cookies can be lifted off of the parchment paper without leaving any chocolate behind).
