Ingredients

3/4 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
1 beaten egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (12 ounce) package white chocolate chips
1/2 cup white sugar, for rolling

Directions

1 Beat butter and 1 cup of sugar together in a mixing bowl until smooth; stir in beaten egg and molasses.
2 Whisk flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt together in another large bowl; stir the flour mixture into the molasses mixture by half cupfuls. Stir in white chocolate chips. Refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour.
3 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4 Scoop up a generous spoonful of dough, and roll it into a ball. Roll the ball in sugar; place onto an ungreased baking sheet and flatten slightly. Sprinkle a little sugar onto the cookie, if desired. Repeat for the rest of the cookies.
5 Bake cookies in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 1 minute before removing to finish cooling on racks.
