Recipe Notes
Always melt chocolate at a low temperature to prevent burning. Start with 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring after each interval until smooth. If using a stovetop double boiler, keep the heat low.
Use a fork to dip the cookies into the melted chocolate. This method allows excess chocolate to drip off easily. Make sure to flip the cookie for even coverage.
Allow the cookies to set at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for faster hardening. Just be cautious not to let them sit too long in the fridge, as condensation can form when they come back to room temperature.

Store the Oreo Christmas Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for about 2 weeks. You don't need to refrigerate them unless it's the middle of summer and it's warm in your kitchen. You should not freeze them as the cold temperature from the freezer can change the way the chocolate looks when you defrost them.
