  • white chocolate for dipping cookies (about 2 cups)

Instruction

  • Beat butter and sugars until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Beat in eggs and molasses.
  • Add the flour and rest of the ingredients and mix just until the flour disappears and all ingredients are incorporated on low speed or by hand.
  • Using a 2 inch cookie scoop, or spoon, scoop the dough out into balls and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, or lightly greased.
  • Place 6 cookies per pan.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and bake for about 10-12 minutes until cookies are set and a top crust has formed.
  • Cool completely.
  • When ready to dip, melt the white chocolate in a bowl over a double boiler on stove or in microwave.
  • If using microwave, heat for about 30 seconds at a time, to insure the chocolate does not overheat and burn.
  • Stir with spoon, heat just until chocolate melts.
  • Using a spoon, spread the melted white chocolate over half of the top of cookie.
  • Place on parchment paper or wax paper until chocolate is set and firm.
