These were very good. At first I had a difficult time coating the balls with chocolate. I offer the following suggestions: 1. I used a 12 oz. bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips and melted them in a double-boiler. 2. When the chocolate was almost melted, I added 3 Tbsp. of shortening and stirred until it was fully melted. (Doing this helps the chocolate set-up firm and dry, and you don't taste it a bit. 3. I dropped the cookies into the melted chocolate mixture. 4. I used a fork to roll them over gently. 5. I slid a fork under the cookies to lift them out, tapping off excess chocolate gently into the pot of chocolate. 6. Finally, I used a toothpick to slide the cookie off the fork onto a sheet of waxed paper. It was really easy to do, and the cookies looked gorgeous and tasted great! I also followed another reviewer's suggestion, and melted white chocolate chips, which I died orange with food coloring, and piped the colored cholate on to the top of the cookie. It really did look like something you would buy at a candy store.
