Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 11/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3 teaspoons freshly grated ginger root
  • 2 tablespoons unsulfured molasses (I used Grandma’s Original)
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • Pat of unsalted butter

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, mix together sugars, egg, cinnamon ,cloves, fresh ginger, oil, butter, molasses and salt. Stir together until everything is smooth and combined.
  • Swift the flour and baking soda into the bowl and mix until a wet, sticky dough forms.
  • Transfer the dough to cling film. Wrap and refrigerate for several hours until firm.
  • On a baking sheet lined with floured parchment paper, transfer the dough. Flour your rolling pin and roll the dough out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Place in the dough in the freezer for the next 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take the dough out and cut out the desired shapes. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are golden. Transfer immediately to a cooling rack. Let cool completely.
  • In a double broiler, melt down the white chocolate and butter. Turn the heat off once the butter begins to melt about 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from the hot water and stir. Once the chocolate melts completely into a smooth consistency spoon immediately into the piping bag. It shouldn’t be too hot. (If you don’t remove the chocolate immediately, it will seize).
  • Decorate the cookies as desired.
