How To Make gingersnap logs

  • Step 1
    In a food processor combine 1 cup of the gingersnap crumbs, the powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, molasses, vanilla, and cinnamon. Cover and process until well combined. Transfer to a bowl; stir in remaining gingersnap crumbs. Cover and chill for 1 hour or until dough is easy to handle.
  • Step 2
    Line an extra-large baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside. Using a rounded teaspoonful of dough, shape dough into a 1x1/2-inch log. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Step 3
    In small saucepan cook and stir white chocolate over low heat until chocolate melts. Add frosting; heat and stir until mixture is smooth. Using a fork, dip logs, one at a time, into white chocolate mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Return to waxed paper. Sprinkle logs with red decorative sugar. Let stand about 30 minutes or until set.
  • Step 4
    To Store: Layer logs between sheets of waxed paper in an airtight container; cover. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
