More tips for you
- While my cookies have been decorated with melting chips, you can alternatively use melting wafers.
Just be sure to follow the directions on the packaging before melting the wafers as they most likely will melt differently from chips. - Use a rimmed baking sheet that can fit in your refrigerator as a holding area for your cookies. This also will make it easier to transfer the cookies for cooling because you can transport them too.
- The key to keeping the decorations in place is to allow them to fully set in a refrigerator. If you are in a bind for time, you can however try setting your cookie sundaes in the freezer.
