Ginger Snaps with White Chocolate
The ginger snaps
These ginger snaps are a soft and tasty cookie. They’re easy to make. You can serve them with or without the white chocolate. Mix up the cookies, roll them into a ball, put them on an ungreased cookie sheet and press them down. Bake and allow to cool.
Melt your white chocolate in a glass container in the microwave in 30-60 second increments, depending on how much chocolate you want to melt and on whether you use white chocolate wafers or larger pieces. 
Do not overheat!
Dip the ginger snaps into the melted white chocolate, or use a brush or knife to spread it on the edge of each cookie. Allow the white chocolate to dry completely, then store in a container until ready to serve.
