These soft molasses cookies are made even tastier with the addition of white chocolate. It is a perfect balance to the spicy ginger, and oats add a nice crunch. A wonderful update on a classic cookie recipe!
The holiday season just isn’t complete without at least one batch of spice cookies.
I have a recipe for dipped gingersnaps that is a holiday staple at our house. The combination of spicy ginger and white chocolate is absolutely amazing! I wanted to come up with a cookie that had the same flavors, but that was a little easier to prepare. Because dipping cookies is a little time consuming when you are making ten dozen to give as gifts!
I found a recipe for molasses white chocolate cookies at Sweet Recipeas and decided to give it a try. Instead of dipping the cookies in white chocolate, they are filled with white chocolate chips. All of the flavor without the work!
I made a few changes to the original recipe, and they turned out just as yummy as I imagined. Crispy on the edges, but soft and chewy in the middle.
I love how the deep flavor of the molasses compliments the sweet white chocolate. And the addition of oats gives them a nice crunch. These molasses cookies are a perfect holiday treat, and they make your house smell just like Christmas!

Is there supposed to be an egg in these? Batter was dry and didn’t hold together. Cookie kinda dry too.
Oh my gosh, I am so sorry – there is supposed to be an egg! Not sure how that slipped by me. I have adjusted the recipe. 🙁
Made these cookies this evening and my home did smell fantastic. The batter , however, was quite stiff and sticky so I added two beaten eggs. The flavor was nice but the texture was a bit pasty.
Wow, these look so delicious!! I’m definitely going to make some for myself, I bet the bf will love it too!
