- Add the sugar, lemon zest and crystallized ginger and whisk to incorporate.

- Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, and stir gently with a spatula to just combine.
- At this point, add the mini white chocolate chips.
- Using your hands lightly squeeze and press the dough into a rough mass.
- Turn the dough out onto a wood board or countertop, and knead it until it just comes together (no more than 12 times. Yes, count up to 12, it actually works).

- Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
- Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet and brush gently the top with a thin coat of half anf half to glaze. Sprinkle with sugar and put in the oven.
