  • Scoop about 1 and 1/2 teaspoons at a time from the dough, shape into balls, and roll them in the remaining 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
  • Transfer to trays lined with baking paper at a distance of approx. 5 cm from each other and slightly level the tops of the biscuits.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 8-10 minutes.
  • Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of fat in the microwave at 10-second intervals.
  • Mix between intervals until you have a smooth frosting.
  • Continue like this until you have about 3 cups of frosting.
  • Dip half of each cookie into the chocolate frosting, wipe off the excess, and place back on the parchment paper to set.
