White Chocolate Ginger Molasses Cookies

I enjoyed sipping on Folgers®, as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. These White Chocolate Ginger Molasses Cookies are a perfect treat to bake up for your holiday parties. Pair them with a hot cup of coffee to get you through the hectic season! #FolgersFans

The holiday season is my favorite season! And it’s already in full-swing. This weekend I did a Rudolph Run 5K, baked Christmas cookies, and hosted a festive get-together with friends which involved ornament-making and eggnog-drinking. While the holidays are my favorite, they can definitely be hectic and draining. But I’ve got a cure for that: coffee.

Ginger Molasses Cookies are one of the treats I bake every single year. I made them for the first time 6 years ago with my sister when we were both living in Florida and spending our first Christmas away from home. That year for Christmas we got Chinese food and went to the movies, but despite not having a traditional holiday, we wanted to start some traditions of our own. Which included baking cookies! Lots and lots of cookies that year, more than we could eat.

The Ginger Molasses Cookies were my favorite and I’ve made them every year since then. They’ve become one of our holiday traditions, and every time I make them I think of my sister and our warm, Florida Chinese food Christmas together.

This year, I decided to mix it up a tiny bit and added some white chocolate to my cookies! I was feeling a little extra festive, and I think ginger and white chocolate is a great combo together. The result was an extra-sweet cookie. Which I think is just perfect to pair with a hot cup of coffee.

Speaking of traditions, sometimes you just need a good, classic cup of coffee. Perhaps one that comes in a cute red can? Folgers® Classic Roast has been around forever and is steeped in tradition, just like the holidays. It’s made from Mountain Grown® beans, the world’s richest and most aromatic. It’s been around for 150 years for a reason! It was the perfect with these sweet treats and it’s perfect for fueling you through the busy holiday season.
