Ingredients
- 1 16 ounce Nutter Butter cookies, 1 package
- 1 12 ounce chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, optional
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is melted. Add coconut oil to the bowl if the chocolate is too thick.
- Dip each Nutter Butter cookie in the melted chocolate and carefully remove it from the chocolate with a fork. Lightly tap the handle of the fork on the side of the bowl to help knock off excess chocolate from the cookie.
