I’ve always enjoyed gingersnap cookies, but they are just kind of plain to me… white chocolate chips solved that problem so quickly!! I feel like cookies really need texture in order to be enjoyable and satisfying, and simply adding some whit chocolate chips to a classic cookie helps take them to another level in my opinion!
The Recipe
This is a classic ginger molasses cookie recipe with a twist! I fold in some white chocolate chips in to this recipe and roll the cookies in white granulated shower before baking for that little something extra. This recipe uses all of the baking staples; butter, sugars, flour, baking soda. We use a combination of both granulated white sugar and brown sugar for added moisture in these cookies. Ground cloves, all spice, ginger and cinnamon bring out the perfect ginger molasses flavour for these cookies; you can of course adjust the spices as per your flavour preference, but this combination is my favourite.
Once you form this cookie dough in to balls you will roll the balls in granulated white sugar before baking. Leave some room for these cookies to spread on the baking sheet.
White Chocolate Ginger Molasses Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter room temp
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup molasses
- 2.25 cups flour

- 1/2 tsp all spice

- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and grabbing all of your ingredients. Grab a lined cookie sheet for baking too!

- Fold in your white chocolate chips gently, don’t over mix!
- Roll your dough in 1.5 tbsp balls using your hands. Put your extra white sugar for coating in a bowl and coat the cookie dough in it by rolling it around. Place 6-8 cookies on a baking sheet at a time and bake for 10 minutes, they do spread so don’t bake too many at a time!
