Common recipe questions
White chocolate is usually sold in bar form and contains cocoa butter as an ingredient. White baking chips cannot be labeled as chocolate because they do not contain any cocoa butter. You can use either for this recipe.
If you store these in an air-tight container, these white chocolate dipped ginger cookies will last up to 10 to 14 days, making them idea for a Christmas cookie exchange.
These can be made ahead, frozen, and then served for the holidays to save you some time. Simply wrap and seal them in an air-tight container and thaw on the countertop when ready to use.
Of course! We are free thinkers here and lovers of all things chocolate. Use your favorite flavor.
