  • 15 Tbsp. salted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 1⁄4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 1⁄2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger.

  • When cookies are completely cool, drizzle with icing and sprinkle with decorator sugar.
