Instead of reaching for royal icing to slather on top of your cookies, consider melting and tempering white or dark chocolate to coat each piece. The glossy texture will give way to an irresistible toothy sweetness that enhances your cookies, and you can customize batches to create aesthetically pleasing treats of your wildest cookie fantasies. You don't even need to use freshly baked cookies for this instant upgrade as store-bought cookies can be easily spruced up with a fine line of chocolate.
When you're ready to start decorating, use a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small hole cut into a corner to trace tempered chocolate across the surface of your cookies. If your hand is unsteady, practice drawing swirls onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic cutting board before attempting your cookie designs. Layer foundations of white chocolate and add swirls of darker chocolate on top, or sprinkle edible gold flakes and decorating sprinkles on top of the chocolate for an elevated touch.
