Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• For the gingersnaps:
• 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 ⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 ⁄2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3 ⁄4 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ⁄4 cup molasses
• For the frosting:
• 4 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
• 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.
