    In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and oil uncovered on High 30 seconds, then 10 to 15 seconds, stirring after each interval, until mixture is smooth.

    Dip cone-shaped frosting on each cookie into chocolate coating to coat most of frosting, letting excess chocolate drip off. Sprinkle with sea salt.
