Made these for the first time last Christmas and back again this year, this is truly a special cookie. Thank you for sharing this recipe

Tarn ★ 5.0/5

These have been a huge hit when I make them around the holidays! So chewy and delicious. I'm pivoting a bit this month (August) and making them to have with fresh homemade peach ice cream, since peach and ginger are so tasty together. Gives me a good excuse to make the cookies all year round!

Sharon ★ 5.0/5

These cookies are delicious, the white chocolate just makes them that much better, I will certainly make these again.

Mindy ★ 5.0/5

SO good! My white chocolate seized as well unfortunately but I was able to salvage it by scraping small amounts off the top and then frosting half the cookie with it. Turned out delicious thankfully.

Sarah ★ 5.0/5

These cookies are wonderfully chewy and turned out perfectly. I added 1 TBS espresso powder (personal preference) and rested the dough overnight in the fridge. This recipe is a keeper! :)

Heather ★ 5.0/5

These have become a family favourite, so good. I melt Lindt white chocolate with a teaspoon of coconut oil in a small pot to dip. Perfect every time, thank you!
