White Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies Cut in Fun Star Shapes
I never used to care for homemade gingerbread cookies—that was until I made these soft gingerbread cookies. They totally changed my opinion on gingerbread men. Before, I used to think of them as more of a decoration. Unfortunately, sometimes pretty cookies just don’t taste as good! This gingerbread recipe is both gorgeous AND delicious. They’re so fun to make with some Christmas music on in the background, then enjoy with some hot chocolate.
Since I loved them so much this year, I made them with the same dough but cut them into star shapes and added white chocolate, because gingerbread and white chocolate are the perfect flavor combination. Seriously… a match made in Heaven. These cookies have plenty of spice and molasses flavor, making them just perfectly festive. Especially with the finishing touch of shimmery white sprinkles! I chose to do half of the cookies drizzled with the chocolate and half dipped in chocolate because I liked the look of the combo but do whichever you like—just be sure to have enough white chocolate if you go the dipping route.

How to Make Gingerbread Cookies
Preheat oven. Prep cookie dough. Roll dough between parchment. Freeze dough then cut into shapes. Bake cookies until set. Let cool then drizzle with white chocolate.
Let White Chocolate Set Before Serving or Storing
Definitely let the white chocolate set up fully before you start stacking and plating them, otherwise, they’ll get smeared and stick together. And if you’d like you can also add some Christmas colored sprinkles on them because you can never go wrong with those pretty little sprinkles.
I hope all of you are having a fun holiday season and are finding time to make cookies and sit back with a mug of hot cocoa brimming with a heaping mound of whipped cream. The holidays are meant to be enjoyed after all!
