Eyeball Cookies

Staff Reporter Amber Schalk

Ingredients

• 5 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped, divided
• 20 to 25 vanilla wafers
• Paste food coloring
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• Red liquid food coloring

Directions

1. In a microwave, melt 4 ounces of white chocolate; stir until smooth. Dip vanilla wafers in melted chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Chill until set.
2. Melt remaining white chocolate; stir until smooth. Tint as desired. Spread a small amount onto the center of each cookie; place a chocolate chip in the center.
3. For bloodshot eyes, use a toothpick dipped in red food coloring to draw lines from circles to outer edges of wafers. Chill until set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 20-25 servings.
