Semisweet or milk chocolate would work equally well for dipping these cookies.

Haven't tried this yet but it looks yummy for any occasion. Am wondering what consistency dough is required as I don't usually purchase ref. dough but make my own. Don't want to add so much flour that it's like wood after being baked ;o)

This was frustrating, because none of my local stores carry the peanut butter cookie dough. I tried to complete the recipe substituting sugar cookie dough instead, but the cookies spread into circles and were not dip-able. I assume with the correct dough, this wouldn't have happened. Either way, the recipe was very time consuming for a disappointing end.

This recipe was so easy and the cookies look and taste wonderful. The only thing I noticed was that it only took half of the amount of chocolate called for in the recipe. I served them at a church function and everyone was wowed!

This was a lot of fun to do with my 3 yr. old.. They don't turn out picture perfect but she had a lot of fun with the sprinkles.
