Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (80g) molasses
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup (175g) white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 3/4 cup softened unsalted butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar until creamy. Add 1/4 cup molasses, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in 1 cup white chocolate chips.
  5. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough. Roll into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked. They may seem soft when you take them out, but they’ll firm up as they cool.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

[‘Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing.’, ‘Avoid overmixing the dough to keep cookies soft.’, ‘Chill the dough for 15 minutes if it feels sticky.’, ‘Customize the spice level by adding more ginger or nutmeg.’, ‘Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.’]
