70.                      Chewy White Chocolate Chip Gingerbread Cookies

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup butter
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 beaten egg
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 (12 ounce) package white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup white sugar, for rolling

Direction

• Whisk the butter and 1 cup sugar together into a mixing bowl until smooth. Beat in the molasses and egg. Stir the baking soda, ginger, cloves, salt, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg together into a separate bowl. Combine into the molasses mixture half cupful at a time. Beat in white chocolate chips. Keep the dough into the refrigerator, 1 hour.
• Heat oven to 350° F (175° C).
• Spoon a large spoonful amount of dough and shape dough to form a ball. Roll the dough ball over the sugar and put into the unprepared baking pans. Flatten the balls slightly. Season a little amount of sugar on the cookies, if preferred. Do again with the remaining cookies.
• Place into the heated oven and bake until cookies turn to lightly brown for 10-15 minutes. Cool cookies on the baking pan, 1 minute. Transfer into the racks for complete cooling.
