Soft Gingersnap Cookies with White Chocolate Chips
I decided to surprise my kids with this easy recipe for soft gingersnap cookies with white chocolate chips from Two Peas and Their Pod for a fun and tasty after-school treat. My house smelled so amazing while these cookies were baking! My kids were thrilled to see these cookies waiting on the counter after school. They loved, LOVED, loved them, and so did my husband.
