• All purpose flour

• Salt
• Unsalted butter, softened
• Light brown sugar, packed
• Molasses
• Large egg
• Vanilla extract

To Make The Cookies:

Step 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare parchment paper-lined baking sheet. This keeps the cookies from sticking and ensures even baking.

Step 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt.

Step 3. In a large bowl, cream the butter, light brown sugar, and molasses using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Continue until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 4. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until the ingredients are fully combined.

Step 5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.

Step 6. Stir until a soft cookie dough forms.

Step 7. Scoop the dough into 1-inch cookie dough balls

Step 8. Roll the dough balls with your hands and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly press to flatten the tops.

Step 9. Bake for 7-10 minutes or until the edges are set and golden.

Step 10. Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.

To Decorate The Cookies:

Step 1. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 10-second intervals, stirring frequently. Be sure you don’t microwave it longer increments or it could seize up.

Step 2. Dip one side of each cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate and place it back on the wire rack.

Step 3. Sprinkle each dipped cookie with holiday sprinkles while the chocolate is still warm, then let them set at room temperature. Enjoy!

Storage Instructions

• Room temperature: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days. Place a piece of parchment paper between the layers to keep them looking pretty.
• Fridge: Pop them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week. Let them warm up to room temperature before serving so they’ll have that perfectly chewy texture.
• Freezer: First, freeze the cookies in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Once frozen, move them to a freezer-safe bag or container and store them for up to 3 months. Just thaw them at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy!

Tips & Tricks

• If the dough seems too soft, chill it for 10-15 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
• Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough so that you’ll end up with pretty, even-sized cookies.
• To keep the cookies from spreading, be sure your butter is softened but not melted.
• For a thicker chocolate coating, dip the cookies twice, letting the first layer set before adding the second.
• Depending on the type of chocolate you use, you may want to add a little oil to the white chocolate chips to allow them to melt easily.

Variations and Add-ins

• Chocolate: You can use white chocolate, milk, dark or semi-sweet chocolate for dipping.
• Add a chocolate drizzle: After the white chocolate sets, drizzle dark or milk chocolate over the cookies.
• Toppings: Use gold, red, or green sprinkles for a festive holiday touch. You could also add crushed peppermint candies or Oreo cookies.
• Sandwich cookies: Spread a layer of white chocolate or cream cheese frosting between two cookies to make some fun sandwich cookies.
• Chopped nuts: Sprinkle finely chopped pecans or walnuts on the white chocolate before it sets.
• Mini cookies: Use a smaller cookie scoop to make bite-sized treats. They’ll be perfect for snacking.
