My husband and youngest son absolutely love ginger. Whether it’s ginger ale, gingerbread, or ginger in a stir-fry, they’re crazy about it. A few months ago, while shopping at World Market, I came across crystallized ginger chips in a bag. I had previously bought large pieces of crystallized ginger and used those in recipes, but this was the first time that I had seen perfect chip size pieces of ginger.

We bought a bag of those ginger chips and I first used them as part of my Moroccan Spiced Mint Tea Juleps recipe. We’ve snacked on quite a few of those ginger chips, but it there was still enough leftover to make another treat or two, like these White Chocolate & Ginger Chip Cookies.

This White Chocolate & Ginger Chip Cookies recipe is super simple to make. It uses many of the usual ingredients you probably already have in your pantry, as well as butter and eggs.

White chocolate pairs together deliciously with ginger, so you’ll mix in about 6 ounces of white chocolate chips. If white chocolate isn’t your thing, you could substitute with dark chocolate chips with good results too. After your cookie dough is mixed up, you’ll drop the dough by spoonfuls onto your cookie sheet for baking.

The final result is a somewhat soft cookie, with creamy white chocolate and bits of crystallized ginger baked right inside. I’ve made several batches over time and they’ve always been a favorite, especially at cookie exchanges.
