2 C all-purpose flour
2/3C sugar
2 T crystallized ginger, minced (find it in the spice section of the grocery
store)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
4 oz. premium white chocolate, finely chopped
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 egg white
Pre-heat oven to at 350°F.
Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Combine the vanilla and next 2
ingredients, and add to the flour mixture. Stir until well blended (dough will
be dry).
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead lightly 7 or 8 times.
Shape dough into a 16-inch long roll. Place roll on a greased baking sheet
coated with cooking spray, and flatten roll to 1-inch thickness. Bake for 30
minutes. Remove the roll from the baking sheet to a wire rack, and let cool for
10 minutes. Cut the roll diagonally into 1/2" slices. Place, cut sides down on a
baking sheet. Bake for 10 more minutes. Turn cookies over and bake an additional
10 minutes (cookies will be slightly soft in the center but will harden as they
cool). Remove cookies from the baking sheet and let cool completely.
