Finely chop white chocolate. In a pot, heat eggnog over medium heat while stirring generously, making sure it doesn’t burn.

In another large bowl, beat some of the butter with sugar, and cane sugar until white and frothy in texture. Stir in the molasses and egg, and mix until fully combined. Then, add flour mixture and mix until a smooth dough forms. Cover and refrigerate for approx. 60 min.
