Let the cookies sit until the chocolate is hardened and set.

Notes

Stir the Chocolate Well: White chocolate is very forgiving than other chocolates, and has less risk of getting spots from overheating. But we still don't want to over heat! Make sure you stir the chocolate chips as much as you can after each time in the microwave. The chocolate will keep melting itself from its own heat.
Double Boiler: If you don't want to use a Microwave you can add the chocolate to a double boiler over about 1 inch of water in the small pot below. Bring the water to a boil over a medium low temperature and stir until the chocolate is totally melted.
Crush the Candy Canes: Add the candy canes (small or regular sized) to a large ziplock bag and hammer with a rolling pin or meat tenderizer. You'll want a mix of small sizes to avoid any large chunks. The bag will likely get holes from the sharp candy, but you'll still be able to crush the candy before it rips. Then transfer the candy to a small bowl.
