This is the last of the cookie posts and this is one my daughter loves the most. She loves ginger cookies but frosted soft ginger cookies are even better.

These are nice and soft and topped with an amazing white chocolate frosting. You can just finish with them there but I added sprinkles to make them look festive for Christmas.

The main this with these cookies is to not over cook them or they will not be soft. So they will still look soft in the middle when you take them out of the oven.
