  11. Allow to cool a few minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. When the cookies have cooled, place the white chocolate chips in a Ziploc bag.
  13. Seal the bag tightly and place in a bowl of hot water until the chips have melted.
  14. Snip a tiny hole in the corner of the Ziploc bag and drizzle the chocolate over the cookies to make it look like a string of lights.
  15. Place candy coated chocolate bits on the drizzled chocolate.
  16. Allow chocolate to set before serving.

Notes

You can freeze the unbaked cookie dough ahead of time for convenience. See post for instructions.
