Answer 1

I found a couple that may work for you...even though they're not specifically for cookies...but maybe you have the ingredients they call for. One of the recipes is for a cake AND a dip, so disregard the cake part :0)

Chocolate Fruit Dip

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups whipped topping
fresh fruit, for dipping

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add cocoa and vanilla; mix well.
Beat in whipped topping until smooth.
Chill and serve with fruit.

Mom's Ultra Quick Yellow Cake and Chocolate " Dip"

CAKE

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 eggs
2 cups self-rising flour
2/3 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons oil

DIP

2 cups sugar
1/3 cup hershey's cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter

CAKE: Preheat a 9x13 pan. In a bowl, stir together all ingredients. (No need to do the wet ingredients first then dry.).
Pour into the pan and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 30 minutes.

DIP: In a med. saucepan, begin to melt the butter. As it melts,
add the remaining ingredients, stirring well to combine. Bring to a boil and boil one minute, stirring while it boils. Remove from heat.

NOTE: It helps to wait until the cake is done to make the dip. The cake will still be warm. Cut that cake slice in half and smother it with the dip and enjoy!

Answer 2

Just melt some chocolate pieces or chunks in a microwave oven or double-boiler, dip the cookies in the melted goo, then put them on a cookie sheet, then put 'em in the fridge, wait about 15 minutes, and serve! (the longer you leave 'em in the fridge, the easier it'll be to remove from the cookie sheet; you can use those silicon pads, too, but don't use grease, oils, or sprays of any kind, as they'll prevent the chocolate from setting properly)
