FOR THE COOKIES
1/2 cup(s) butter, softened
1/2 cup(s) sugar
1 - egg
2 ounce(s) white baking chocolate, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
2 cup(s) cake flour
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
FOR THE GLAZE
1 cup(s) 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon(s) shortening
1 teaspoon(s) light corn syrup
1 cup(s) powdered sugar
3-5 tablespoon(s) hot brewed coffee
2 ounce(s) white baking chocolate, chopped
- green colored sugar, optional

Steps:

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Beat in melted chocolate and vanilla. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until dough is easy to handle.
Divide the dough into fourths; divide each portion into 12 pieces. Shape each piece into a 6-inch rope; twist into a pretzel shape. Place 1 inch apart onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 400F for 7-9 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool.
For glaze, in a microwave, melt the semisweet chips, shortening, and corn syrup; stir until smooth. Stir in powdered sugar and enough coffee to achieve a glaze consistency. Dip cookies in glaze; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper until set. In a microwave, melt white chocolate over 30% power; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cookies. Decorate with green sprinkles, if desired; let stand until set.
