Ingredients
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Cream together butter and brown sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer for one minute or until fluffy. Add in the egg and beat until smooth. Add in the molasses and mix until combined.
Stir together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Add to the butter mixture and stir with a spoon just until combined. Do not over-mix. Cover and refrigerate the dough for 10-15 minutes.
Scoop cookie dough into about 1.5 Tbsp portions and roll the cookie dough into a ball. Place the granulated sugar into a shallow bowl or plate and then roll the dough into the sugar. Place on the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Bake 8-10 minutes and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
Melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips in the microwave at 50% power in 15-second increments, stirring until melted. Place melted chocolate in a pastry bag with a small tip. Drizzle melted chocolate over the cookies and allow them to harden.
