I made these for the annual Cookie Walk fundraiser at my church. They were simple to mix up. Handling was slightly difficult as the dough tended to soften really quickly once it came out of the fridge. Cookies came out crisp and tasty. The dipping process was the biggest problem, as these cookies produce a lot of crumbs, which eventually made the white chocolate look quite speckled. They did, however, sell quite quickly and were well-received.
