Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 27 minutes
Servings 15 cookies

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon table salt
  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips or candy melts
  • colored candy melts optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Using a stand mixer, cream the granulated sugar, brown sugar and butter until fluffy. Scrape down the sides.
  • Add the egg, molasses, milk, ginger, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt. Cream again until combined. Scrape the bowl down.
  • Add the flour and baking soda - stir until just mixed. Do not over mix.
  • Scoop the cookie dough (about 2 tablespoons) into your hand and roll it into a ball. (see photo for size reference)
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and place the rolled dough at least 2” apart.
  • Use the bottom of a glass and press down gently on each ball of dough.
  • Bake for 12 minutes, if needed - rotate the cookie sheet halfway. (depending on your oven)
  • Remove from the oven and allow cookies to sit for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire cooking rack.
  • Melt the white chocolate according to package directions in a small bowl (big enough to dip a cookie in half way though) Usually this is in 30 second increments at 50% power in the microwave.
  • Dip each cookie to coat half of the cookie.
  • Decorate each cookie as preferred using melted candy melts.
