12 ounces gingersnap or gingerbread cookies use dry cookies, not soft or moist cookies (340 grams)
8 ounces cream cheese slightly softened (220 grams)
10 tablespoons dulce de leche
9 ounces white chocolate melted (250 grams)

Add the cookies to a blender or food processor and blend until the mixture resembles crumbs.
Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl (or to the bowl of a stand mixer) and add the cream cheese and 8 tablespoons of the dulce de leche, mixing on low speed just until the mixture comes together evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours so the mixture will firm up. Alternatively, place in the freezer for about 30-45 minutes to chill.
Before removing the mixture from the fridge or freezer, gently melt the white chocolate and the other 2 tablespoons of dulce de leche together on 50% power in the microwave for 30-second increments, stirring regularly until the chocolate is melted.
Roll the cookie mixture into balls using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture for each ball, and dip in the melted chocolate, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet so the chocolate can harden.
Crush the cookies for the topping, sprinkle the crumbs over the balls that have been dipped in the melted chocolate, and refrigerate until the chocolate has set (about 25 minutes).
Serve on a holiday cookie tray with all your other favourite treats, or give as edible holiday gifts!

Store in the fridge for up to 4 days until you're ready to serve, and freeze for up to 3 months if you wish!
