White Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies

I am excited to be a part of The Holiday Recipe Club Blog Hop that Erin at Big Fat Baker has been putting together.  We were all given 3 flavors (peppermint, eggnog, and gingerbread) for this round.  Our job is to then make something using one of those 3 flavors.  I had a hard time picking!  I love chocolate and peppermint together this time of year.  But, in the end I decided to go with Gingerbread.  It is fairly new to me.  I mean I have had a Ginger Snap before, and a Gingerbread Man Cookie, but I have never baked it myself.  It is a very classic Christmas flavor to me, just not something I crave.  That was until I saw this recipe by Hanging on by a Needle and Thread.  I knew immediately I had to make these!

White Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies

I had to make adjustments for the altitude, so I was nervous how they would turn out.  But they were thick and chewy, exactly how I like my cookies!  I may have figured out this high altitude baking thing.  I say that, and the next thing I bake is not going to turn out!  That, and I haven’t tried cake yet, I hear that is the hardest to get to turn out! Note that my altitude adjustments are in parenthesis in the recipe below.

These cookies are full of the gingerbread flavor with plenty of sweetness from the white chocolate chips.  Perfect to leave out for Santa!

    I am so glad you were able to participate in the blog hop! These gingerbread cookies sound delicious. Nice, thick and chewy is perfect! My BF would be so happy if I could find him the time to make him these, he loves white chocolate in anything. I am so afraid to move the mountains for fear of high altitude baking! (I’m calling you if I ever find myself in that situation!)

    These do look like a hearty cookie for the holidays, love the crackly look with all the chips peeking out-yum! The altitude difference must be a pain, but I am sure that will become very familiar in a very short time! Have a nice evening.

    I am with you…peppermint and chocolate sound best to me this time of year, so I end up avoiding gingerbread! These cookies look amazing though…definitely worth adding to the baking line-up.

    If you want a recipe that works every time at altitude, try yoghurt cake. I made it every day for 4 months whilst I was working in a chalet in the Alps, and the only ones that went wrong were when we missed out ingredients! The funny thing is it doesn’t work as well when it’s not at altitude!

    1 yoghurt (just an ordinary multipack sized yoghurt pot) – empty it into the bowl and then use the pot for your measurements. Try different flavours for different flavour cakes.
    1 pot of oil (we used vegetable oil I do believe.. but it worked with olive oil when we ran out!)
    2 pots of sugar
    3 pots of flour
    3 eggs
    Any ingredients you want to add. It’s fun to play around with it!

    Mix it all together in a bowl and stick in the oven at 180C until cooked.

    Pinned your cookies to my pinterest <- the main point of my comment!!
