Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (160g) molasses
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (180g) white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet batter, stirring just until combined to keep the cookies soft.
  6. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded balls about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft. Start checking at 9 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  10. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough before baking is essential for soft chewy texture and prevents spreading. Use room temperature eggs and butter for smooth mixing. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even browning. Toast spices briefly for enhanced aroma. Dough can be refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen up to 3 months.
