WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP GINGER COOKIES

White Chocolate Chip Ginger Cookies image

I came up with this recipe when I wanted a ginger cookie and didn't have any molasses. This has a delicate flavor, not as strong as your typical ginger cookie or gingerbread, but the vanilla chips give it a great creamy richness that complements the spice. It makes an excellent Christmas cookie, and 1 cup of walnuts can be added for another layer of flavor.

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1 (12 ounce) bag vanilla chips

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl until creamy. Add egg and vanilla extract; mix well.
Whisk flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, and cloves together in another bowl. Beat flour mixture into butter mixture until dough is just-combined. Stir vanilla chips into dough. Drop dough by the 1/8-cup full 2-inches apart on a baking sheet.
Bake cookies in the preheated oven until golden and soft, 10 to 11 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
