If there is one recipe to me that is Christmas in a cookie - it's these Dipped Gingersnaps. They've been a favorite for a VERY long time. Since we'd get a plate from a family friend every year. This recipe makes a LOT of cookies. I mean a LOT. But that's more to eat, more to share, more to gift!
I do have a trick to dipping them. I don't dip them in half way - I dip them in a quarter... what? Yes.. just half of the top - then add some chunky sugar crystals to the wet white chocolate or almond bark. You can get really fancy and add special sprinkles. I have very little patience for specially placed sprinkles so chunky sugar is the way I go.

Roll into ¾” balls and roll in sugar. Place 2” apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 10 - 12 minutes or until cookies springs back when touched. Removed to wire rack and cool.
