Soft Gingersnap Cookie Recipe | Two Peas & Their Pod

Sale, she generously volunteered to donate cookies. She made these soft ginger cookies with white chocolate chunks. Of course, she packaged the cookies in cute little bags with bright yellow ribbons. I knew they would sell like hot cakes (and they did) so I bought a bag and set it aside for later. That night I opened my cookie bag and sampled the cookies. Swoon! I was in love. These ginger cookies are the BEST ginger cookies I have ever tasted. That is saying a lot because I love my gingersnap cookie recipe. I will admit it though, these are better. I love that they are soft, a smidge chewy, strong in spices, and dotted with white chocolate chunks. The dust of sugar on the outside also makes these cookies very pretty. I was first introduced to these special cookies in the spring and I have been waiting months and months to make them for the holidays. They are the perfect holiday cookie. I strongly suggest you preheat your oven and bake a batch of these soft gingersnap cookies today. They will make your house smell amazing and will become a favorite holiday cookie. I know they are permanently on my holiday baking list.

4. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until smooth. Slowly add in the flour. Next, stir

5. Scoop the dough into balls and roll in granulated sugar. Place on lined baking sheets, about two inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes, the cookies will still be soft. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for five minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
