Description
A delicious cookie recipe combining the sweetness of white chocolate with the warmth of ginger and spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger (use 1 1/2 teaspoons for stronger flavor)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (dark brown sugar preferred)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon molasses (not blackstrap)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (or chunks)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until no visible butter chunks remain.
- Beat in the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir by hand briefly, then mix on low speed until just combined.
- Turn off the mixer and fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Form large dough balls using about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of dough each (about 100 g). Place on a plate, cover, and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place frozen dough balls 3–3 inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake one sheet at a time for 14–17 minutes, until tops are set and lightly cracked.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a stronger ginger flavor, increase the ground ginger to 1 1/2 teaspoons.
- Ensure the butter is cold and cubed for the best texture in the cookies.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
