Once cookies have cooled completely, dip in chocolate (if desired).
Chocolate;
Combine chocolate chips and shortening in a small bowl. Heat in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring well in between until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Dip cookies in chocolate and transfer to a wax paper-lined cookie sheet. Decorate with nonpareils or other sprinkles, if desired.
Allow chocolate to harden before enjoying. You can speed up this process by placing the cookies in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes
