Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl combine the butter, sugar, and eggs. Mix well until combined.
Add in the molasses and stir until combined.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, salt, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.
Add the flour to the butter mixture and mix until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into two parts. Shape each dough into a 12 x 3 log and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 3-4 minutes. Slice on a diagonal (you should get between 10-15 slices). Turn the slices on the side and bake for 6-8 minutes. Flip them over and bake an additional 6-8 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool. Drizzle with white chocolate if desired.
