Be sure to look at the white chocolate label! Some manufacturers add hydrogenated fat to white chocolate. Yucky is all I have to say about that.
Happy Birthday Cookies
10 ounces white chocolate chips
2 tablespoons non-hydrogenated shortening
Natural food coloring, optional
sprinkles
Store bought animal crackers
Melt chocolate and shortening in the microwave. Stir every 10-15 seconds. Do not overheat the chocolate. Let the residual heat do the last bit of melting.
Add desired food coloring, if you want. Take a cookie and submerge it in the chocolate. Scoop it out with a fork and tap it hard to get excess off. Place on a wire rack and sprinkle. Repeat with the rest of the cookies. If the chocolate gets a little too thick, microwave it for a couple of seconds.
Let the coat set and then refrigerate the cookies (the coat holds well at room temperature).
