I get a great deal of satisfaction making and giving time-tested yuletide treats like these soft, chewy cookies. Dipping them in white chocolate makes great gingersnaps even more special. —Laura Kimball, West Jordan, Utah

I had these for the first time in a Christmas Cookie Take & bake Class in 2006 and we've made them every year since. My only problem with these cookies is we eat them way too fast and the dough is somewhat hard to work with.

My daughter won state fair cookie contest with this recipe. We don't bother to dip them--the taste is so good, these cookies don't need dressing up.

These are awesome! Nice and chewy.

For the person wondering about the amount of ginger: 3 tsp. is equal to 1 Tbsp. so nothing has changed about the recipe :)

It is a great recipe. However, I printed off this recipe last year or whenever and it calls for a TBL of ground ginger. I just mixed up my dry ingred and see it has been changed to 3 tsp. Will it make too much difference if I use the 1 TBL? They really are fantastic!

The white chocolate chips became doughy. I googled this problem, and apparently, it is very easy to have this problem if the chips get too hot. I set the microwave to low, and checked them after less than a minute, and still had bad luck. The recipe really does need to emphasize how to avoid getting doughy chips.

Our whole family LOVES these cookies! They are easy to make and so yummy and tasty!! I get lots of comments about them whenever I take them somewhere.

A family favorite for Christmas, a beautiful presentation dipped or lightly drizzled with the white chocolate, but come out of the oven just perfect...keep them small, less than 1" ball. Always makes the house smell like the holidays!
