How to make
-
STEP 1
Heat oven to 350°F.
-
STEP 2
Combine butter, sugar and egg in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Add all remaining cookie ingredients. Beat until well mixed. (Mixture will be crumbly.)
-
STEP 3
Divide mixture into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into 12-inch rope on lightly floured surface. Cut rope into 2-inch logs. Place, 1 inch apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 11-15 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Remove from cookie sheets. Cool 15 minutes.
-
STEP 4
Place candy coating in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave 1 minute; stir. Continue microwaving, stirring every 15 seconds, until melted and smooth. Frost tops and sides of logs; place onto waxed paper. Let stand until set.
-
STEP 5
Place chocolate chips and oil in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave 1 minute, stirring after 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Dip fork into melted chocolate, drizzling chocolate crosswise over logs. Let stand until set.
Tip #1
Don’t worry about making even lines of chocolate over the logs as natural birch bark has thick and thin lines that are black in color.

Tip #3
A small offset spatula is inexpensive and works great for spreading the coating over the cookies.
