Step-by-Step Instructions for Gingerbread White Chocolate Cookies
  1. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Beat in the egg and molasses until fully combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop portions of dough and place them on the baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  6. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
