Simple Tips and Tricks to keep your Gingerbread Cookies with White Chocolate Soft and Chewy

1. Avoid Over-Mixing. When combining ingredients, mix until just combined. Over-mixing can toughen the cookies, affecting their soft texture.
2. Baking Time. Keep a close eye on the baking time. Remove the cookies from the oven just as the edges start to set. They’ll firm up as they cool, maintaining a chewy centre.
3. Proper Cooling. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them. This helps maintain their chewiness.
4. Seal in freshness. Store your cookies in a tightly sealed ziplock bag or container. This preserves their chewy texture and keeps them fresh for longer periods.
5. Use Molasses. Molasses is a key ingredient that contributes to the softness and moisture of gingerbread cookies. Ensure it’s well incorporated into the dough.
6. Brown Sugar Magic. The inclusion of brown sugar aids in keeping cookies soft and moist due to its higher moisture content compared to granulated sugar.

Ingredients

• 160g ( ¾ cup)  butter , room temperature
• 125g ( ¾ cup) light brown sugar
• 307g (2 ⅓ cup) all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• ⅓ cup black treacle or molasses
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon 
• 2 tsp ground ginger 
• ½ tsp ground cloves 
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg 
• ½ tsp salt

method

1. Preheat the oven to 175ºC and prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper. Keep them aside.
2. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar until they become light and fluffy, taking about 4-5 minutes.
3. Add the black treacle or molasses and vanilla extract to the mixture and blend until well combined. Follow by adding the egg and beat thoroughly.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon powder, ginger powder, cloves powder, freshly grated nutmeg, and some salt.
5. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture and beat at medium speed until fully mixed, ensuring there are no streaks of flour remaining.
6. Using a medium-sized cookie scoop, scoop out rounded portions of the cookie dough. Optionally, roll the cookies in additional sugar before placing them two inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
7. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes. The cookies should puff up, have a crinkled appearance, and be set around the edges but slightly soft in the middle. Allow them to cool completely before using a spatula to transfer them to a wire rack. Enjoy your freshly baked cookies!
