Soft chewy spiced ginger molasses white chocolate chunk cookies.
Servings: 24
Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter (barely softened, cut into cubes)
- 1 1/3 cups Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 large Egg Yolk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/3 cup Molasses
- 2 2/3 cups Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt (if using salted butter, reduce to 1/2 tsp)
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon Cloves
- pinch Cayenne
- 2 cups White Chocolate Chunks or Chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar for 4 minutes until light and fluffy and pale in color. Add egg and vanilla. Add molasses and mix well.
- Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and cayenne pepper. Mix just until combined to avoid over-mixing the dough.
- Fold in white chocolate chunks or chips. Set aside some extra white chocolate for garnishing the cookies after baking.
- Place 1/4 cup of sugar into a small bowl. Roll dough into small balls and roll into sugar, coating well.
- Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-13 minutes.
- If you want the cookies to look like more gourmet...as soon as the cookies are done baking and are removed from the oven, place a few white chocolate chunks or chips on the top to garnish the cookies.
Notes
Can I use white chocolate chips instead of white chocolate chunks?
Yes! You can use either white chocolate chips or chunks in this recipe. If you use white chocolate chips, I suggest using Ghirardelli or Guittard.
