    Tips for making decorated Cookies.

    Use cookies that are fresh as this will make it easier to decorate them. Also, make sure that your cookies are intact and are in good shape before decorating them as well.

    More tips for you

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.

    How to make decorated cookies even better.

    These cookies are really cute and really tasty just the way they are.
    You can however make yours even better.

    Try one of these ideas.

    • Instead of using candy chip melts use chocolate or peanut butter chips instead.
    • Or, you could use frosting to decorate your cookies (avoid getting it on the sides of the cookies).
    • Instead of adding a candy to the top of the cookies, add a cherry, raisin, or cranberry instead.

    How to make Nutter Butter Ice Cream Sundae Cones

    Servings: makes 14 Nutter Butter cookies.
    Prep time: 10 Minutes.

    Step One: Prepare.

    Line a rimmed baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. This can be used as a workspace and will make it easier for your to transfer the decorated cookies.

    Step Two: Melt the wafers and dip the cookies.

    1. Start by melting your wafers according to the directions on the packaging. (I melt mine in a microwave safe bowl, stopping to stir every 20 seconds, until smooth and melted.
    2. Next, you can use a dipper, fork, or spoon to dip or spread the melted wafers across the top half of half of the first Nutter Butter cookie.
    3. Place the dipped cookie on to your lined baking sheet.
    4. Add the sprinkle to the area that you just covered with the melted wafers and then top the cookie with the M&M candy.
    5. Repeat this process with the remaining cookies.

    Expert Tip 👉 If your melted wafers begin to set in the bowl while you are still working, you can reheat it for ten seconds and stir as needed. Also, adding a teaspoon of coconut oil can smooth out your melted chocolate if needed.

    Step Three: finish making the sundae cookies.

    Transfer your decorated cookies to your refrigerator for 15 minutes or until fully set.
    These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up five days at room temperature.
