2¼ cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons ground ginger
1½ teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup unsalted butter softened
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
¼ cup SPLENDA® Naturals Stevia Sweetener 6 packets (or 1/4 cup granulated sugar)
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
¼ cup molasses (not blackstrap)

3 tablespoons SPLENDA® Naturals Stevia Sweetener 3 packets (or 3 tablespoons granulated sugar)
8 ounces white chocolate chips or almond bark
Holiday sprinkles

In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and SPLENDA® Naturals Stevia Sweetener (or sugar) until light and fluffy with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with fitted paddle attachment.
Beat in egg, then stir in water, vanilla, and molasses.
Add flour mixture to wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
Refrigerate dough for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until easy to handle.
In a small bowl, add 3 tablespoons SPLENDA® Naturals Stevia Sweetener (or sugar).
Shape dough into small balls and roll in SPLENDA® Naturals Stevia Sweetener. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking pan.Lightly flatted using the bottom of a glass or spoon.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are set, being careful not to over-bake.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cookies are completely cooled, add white chocolate to a small bowl. Microwave on medium power for about 2 minutes to melt, stirring every 15 seconds so it doesn't burn.
Working one cookie at a time, dip halfway into white chocolate and then place onto parchment paper to set. Sprinkle tops of white chocolate with holiday sprinkles.
