Candied Ginger No-Bake Cookies

My new favorite obsession is candied ginger. Last week I added it to my traditional banana soft serve and today I decided to pair it with chocolate. Chocolate covered no-bake cookies, that is. These guys are easy to make and come in a small batch, so you don’t overdose…

Roll 6-8 individual balls from dough, and flatten them to resemble shape of cookie. Place on a glass pan and put in the freezer to harden slightly, approximately 10 minutes.

While the cookies are in the freezer, on a double broiler melt chocolate.

Remove the cookies from the freezer. One by one, dip the cookies on both sides in chocolate. While the chocolate is still melted, pat both sides of the cookies with chopped candied ginger. Place all cookies back on the glass plate and transfer them to the freezer again to harden the chocolate.
