Weekend Getaway & those Soft White-Chocolate-Dipped Molasses Cookies....

Soft White Chocolate Dipped Molasses Cookies
from Lindsay Bauman

1 1/2 c. butter
2 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c. molasses
4 1/2 c. flour
4 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. salt

extra sugar for rolling
2 12 oz. bags white chocolate baking chips


Preheat oven to 375.  In a large bowl cream butter and sugar.  Add the eggs and molasses.  In another bowl mix dry ingredients together then slowly mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.  Roll dough into 1-2 inch balls and roll into sugar.  Place on baking sheets lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes. I like to under cook all of my cookies, so I baked mine for about 9 minutes.

Melt your white chocolate chips in a double broiler and dip half of the cookie into it.  (If it seems too thick, add a dab of plain shortening until you get the desired consistency).  Place onto wax paper and let dry.
