It is THAT time again, this year, I am feeling inspired and will do
some baking. One of the cookies I like to make is the Spritz cookie, I
want to dip part of the cookie into dark chocolate.

Should I just buy some dark chocolate melt it and dip? This seems like
it would be too thick. Does any one have suggestions??

Thanks, Rosie

If it's too thick, add a bit of vegetable oil, a drop at a time to get the
right consistency. Too much oil and it won't set up right.

Janet, I take that to mean you use melted butter to thin your
couverture for use as coating? I've never tried butter for that.

Not vegetable oil... coconut oil!
