Ginger Molasses Cookies image

These molasses cookies are yummy and adorable. Soft and chewy, they're the perfect cookie for Christmas. They taste like gingerbread but not as strongly spiced. The white chocolate dip complements the ginger and spices perfectly. Sprinkles make this cookie very festive. Super easy to make, these would be great if you're going to...
