Big Soft Ginger Christmas Cookies

In a mixing bowl, stir together the All-Purpose Flour (2 1/2 cups) , Baking Soda (1 tsp) , Ground Ginger (1/2 Tbsp) , Ground Cinnamon (3/4 tsp) and Ground Cloves (1/2 tsp) , using whisk to gently mix well.

In a large mixing bowl, beat Butter (3/4 cup) on medium speed for 2 minutes. Beat in the Granulated Sugar (1 cup) . Add Egg (1) and Molasses (1/4 cup) ; beat well. Using a wooden spoon, stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture.

Shape dough into 1-1/2 inch balls, using about 1 heaping tablespoon of dough for each ball. Roll balls in Granulated Sugar (2 Tbsp) to coat.

When cool, melt White Chocolate (1 1/3 cups) according to package directions.

Dip each cookie half-way into melted white chocolate and place back on parchment paper to dry. While the white chocolate is still “melty”, decorate with Holiday Sprinkles (to taste) .
