Soft Gingersnap Cookies with White Chocolate Drizzle
We had quite a bit of snow (for Portland) today, and it looks like we’ll be stuck home for the next day or so due to terribly icy roads. I decided to make a big pot of stew, crusty bread, and a batch of cookies. I normally make gingersnap cookies plain, but today I decided to make them a little extra special with a little white chocolate drizzle. Needless to say, my kids and husband happily ate some cookies for dessert tonight, and they all “oohed and aahed,” which I took as a good sign. They all declared these soft gingersnap cookies with white chocolate drizzle blog-worthy.

- ¼ cup of molasses
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ tsp vanilla
- 1Â large egg
- 1¾ cups of flour

How to Make Soft Gingersnap Cookies with White Chocolate Drizzle
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using the hand mixer, beat the butter and ½ cup sugar together until creamy.
Add the molasses, vegetable oil, and vanilla, and beat until mixed well.
Add the egg and continue to beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Slowly mix in the flour mixture to the molasses mixture until well combined.
Place in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
Scoop the dough into balls and roll in the remaining white sugar.
Place them on the prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart.
Place into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
While the cookies are cooling, place the white chocolate chips in a glass bowl. Remove and stir, then return it to the microwave for 10 seconds. Remove and stir, then return it to the microwave for 10 seconds. Remove and stir until completely melted. Be careful not to overcook the white chocolate!
Spoon the white chocolate into a small zip-lock bag. Cut a super small hole in the corner of the bag and drizzle the white chocolate back and forth over each cookie.
Serve with ice-cold milk. Enjoy.

White chocolate drizzle makes these soft chewy holiday cookies even more tempting and beautiful!
Stay cozy and keep baking. this looks like a great cookie.
Ginger and white chocolate were made for each other! What a perfect cookie pairing.
It’s rainy and cool here today so sticking indoors. We might bake tonight, if nothing else it makes the whole house feel warmer ha ha. If so, these will be on the list. Thanks for sharing!
These may be one of the best cookies ever, to have with a cup of tea.
I’m making another batch tomorrow.
