If you love the flavors of gingerbread, then you will really enjoy these delicious soft white chocolate chip gingerbread cookies. They are the best Christmas cookie recipe to make with your kids and leave out for you to eat, um I mean the jolly old man.

Be careful with this recipe, these quickly became a favorite family recipe and they are gone sometimes even the same day they are made. So, if your intention is to share the cookies, I would make a double batch or find a new hiding spot.

These also make great gifts. Most people love the taste of gingerbread cookies, but don’t always love how dry and hard they can be. Well with this recipe there is no such thing, just plenty of flavor and perfectly chewy.

How To Make Our Soft White Chocolate Chip Gingerbread Cookies:

Close up of Soft White Chocolate Chip Gingerbread Cookies

To begin making these soft and chewy gingerbread cookies, start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.

Then in a medium mixing bowl, sift the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt together and then set it aside.

Now cream together the softened butter and one cup of granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until it is light and fluffy.

Once those are creamed together, beat in the egg, scrape the bowl down and then stir in the water and molasses, mixing it all together until they are well combined.

Next, grab your spatula and gently fold in the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt until it is all combined.

Lastly, pour in the white chocolate chips (I tend to not measure and pour with my heart haha) and then mix the chips into the dough.

Once the dough has all been mixed together, shape the dough into 1-inch balls and then roll them in the granulated sugar and then place them on an ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart.

Continue to make the cookies up until you’ve used all the dough.

After the cookie sheet is full, place the cookie sheet in the oven and let them bake for 7-10 minutes or until the edges are slightly browned.

Then allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then move them to a cooling rack to finish cooling down and then enjoy!

Rubber spatula

What is Molasses?

If you haven’t worked with molasses before, you might wonder what it is and what purpose it serves for these delicious gingerbread cookies.

Besides making cookies taste delicious, the Spruce Eats gives you the lowdown on what molasses is and why it is awesome.

I will say, it is SUPER sticky so maybe spraying whatever measuring utensil you use with nonstick cooking spray beforehand can also be helpful.

Do I Need to Use White Chocolate Chips?

While you definitely do not have to use white chocolate chips, they add a depth of flavor to these cookies, and of course, chocolate (enough said). However, you can also switch them out for your favorite chocolate chips, or omit them altogether.
