Ingredients
- For the gingersnaps:
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 salt /4 teaspoon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cloves ground, 1/2 teaspoon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 butter at room temperature, unsalted, 1/4 cup
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 molasses 1/4 cup
- FOR THE FROSTING:
- 4 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 4 tablespoons butter at room temperature, unsalted
- 3 ounces white chocolate chopped and melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
- 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices.
- 3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Add in the molasses and mix until combined.
- 4. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture. Mix until flour disappears.
- 5. Form the dough into tablespoon sized balls. Place the cookie dough balls on prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- 6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are set, but centers are still soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for two minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
- 7. While the cookies are cooling, make the frosting. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the cream cheese and butter on medium-high speed until smooth. Add the melted white chocolate and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the powdered sugar until smooth.
- 8. Using a knife, frost the gingersnaps with frosting.
