Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
While the cookies are cooling, place the white chocolate chips in a glass bowl. Remove and stir, then return it to the microwave for 10 seconds. Remove and stir, then return it to the microwave for 10 seconds. Remove and stir until completely melted. Be careful not to overcook the white chocolate!
Spoon the white chocolate into a small zip-lock bag. Cut a super small hole in the corner of the bag and drizzle the white chocolate back and forth over each cookie.
