These chewy ginger cookies are packed with molasses and a subtle sweetness to satisfy your sweet tooth. Dip them in white chocolate and decorate with sprinkles for some holiday flair!
In a large bowl using a stand or hand mixer, beat together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar medium speed until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and molasses, and beat on medium speed until combined.
3/4 cup unsalted butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1 egg, 1/4 cup molasses
Add in the flour mixture a little at a time and beat on low speed until combined.
Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out even portions of dough and roll each in sugar. Place each ball on parchment paper on a baking sheet or platter, cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1-2 hours to chill.
Sparkling sugar or granulated sugar
Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with non stick silicone mats or parchment paper.
Transfer dough to prepared baking sheets, at least 1-inch apart. I recommend doing 9 cookies per baking sheet, just to give yourself plenty of room.
Bake one sheet at a time on the middle rack for 10 minutes, or until the tops have just started to crack. If you'd prefer these cookies a little less chewy, leave in a minute or two longer. Remove and let cook on baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Once completely cooled, dip in white chocolate and decorate with sprinkles if desired and enjoy!
