Cute white chocolate-dipped Koala Cookies are made using OREO Cookies, candy melts, and modeling chocolate.
Dip the OREO cookies into the gray-colored candy melts.
Repeat, dipping just a few more cookies. If you dip them all before freezing, the chocolate coating will start to dry becoming streaky or spotty.
Continue dipping more cookies. Freeze until hardened.
ears - Cut out 1 oval then cut the tip off using the long edge of the oval cutter.
inner Ears - Cut 1 pink oval (a bit smaller than the grey oval) then cut the tips.
nose - Pinch off a piece of black modeling chocolate, roll it into a ball then pinch it between your thumb and finger shaping it into a triangle with rounded edges.
eyes - Cut 2 black circles using a #7 or 8 pastry tip.
Attach the earpieces together using a small amount of water. Brush a thin layer of water on the backside of the pink part of the ear and then press it onto the gray part of the ear.
Use a knife or kitchen shears to make slits all around the outer ear, to make them look furry.
Attach the ear to the cookie using water or melted candy coating. You can also use clear piping gel if you have some on hand.
Attach the eyes and nose to the cookie using water.
Use a food coloring marker to draw on a smile.
Allow the decorations time to dry before packaging your cookies.
To cut circles using the pastry tip, press the pointed end of the tip into the modeling chocolate, turn the tip upside down, and tap on the counter. The circle will fall out. I usually cut several circles before turning the tip over and tapping the circles out.
Store your cookies at room temperature for up to a week.
