Want to try something new and fun with your family? This quick and easy recipe is that. It evolved from my kids preferring to eat the unbaked dough over the thin crispy ginger cookies. Crazy? See what you think!
- Make one batch of ginger cookie dough (see previous blog).
- Shape into 24 balls, each, one-inch/about two mm, by rolling between the palms of your hands. Get the kids in on this. Try to make them as round and smooth as possible. Dough left can be used for gingers cookies.
- Place balls of dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cool in the freezer for fifteen minutes.
- In the meantime, melt 1 1/2 bars/150 grams/6 oz dark chocolate in the top of a double boiler or, carefully, in a bowl over a pan of boiling water. Remove melted chocolate from the heat.
- Take the shaped ginger balls from the freezer. One at a time, roll each one in the melted chocolate, carefully, using two forks. Gently place each coated ball on parchment paper. Before the chocolate dries, add a decorative piece on top, i.e. crystalized ginger, candy, silver ball, etc. Two working together is a big help. One to coat balls with chocolate and the other adding the decorative bit.
Serve on your favorite tray. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Delicious!
