This a mix of several great gingerbread cookie recipes. I added the white chocolate glaze for an extra touch! They have become a favorite during my holiday baking. Enjoy!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Definitely add these gingerbread cookies to your Christmas cookie tray. Filled with the spices of the holiday season, they are a soft and chewy molasses cookie. The white chocolate filling adds a bit of flair and sweetness. They'd make tasty (and pretty) gifts to give too.

How To Make gingerbread thumbprints
-
1Mix flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl.
-
2Beat butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
-
3Add molasses and egg; beat well.
-
4Gradually beat in flour mixture on low speed until well mixed.
-
5Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
6Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar.
-
7Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. These can be refrigerated and baked the next day.
-
8Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges of cookies just begin to brown.
-
9As soon as the cookie comes out of the oven, make a “thumbprint” in the cookie using the back of a measuring spoon or end of a wooden spoon (or your thumb… but they are hot!).
-
10Cool 2 minutes on the cookie sheet before removing to a cooling rack.
-
11To make the glaze, combine butter and white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook on high, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth.
-
12Gradually beat in powdered sugar and milk until icing is of drizzling consistency.
-
13Fill thumbprints. Put in the fridge or a cool place so the glaze can set.
