Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, and salt until thoroughly combined and no lumps remain.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the molasses to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- • For the most consistent cookies, use a cookie scoop to ensure uniform size and even baking. • Make sure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this helps create the perfect cookie texture. • Don't overmix the dough, as this can make your cookies tough instead of tender. • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking. • For extra sparkle, you can sprinkle a little granulated sugar on top of the cookies before baking. • Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to help maintain their moisture and softness. • If you want a more intense molasses flavor, use dark molasses instead of light.
