# Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Cream the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add molasses and egg yolk, mixing thoroughly. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt. Gradually combine dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a dough forms. Roll out dough to a 1/4-inch thickness and cut into small festive shapes. Arrange cookies on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until edges are set. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
02 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the chopped white chocolate gently in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short microwave bursts. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle chopped dried cranberries, chopped pistachios, and orange zest uniformly on top. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes until firm, then break into shards.
03 - Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the puff pastry into 12 rounds and press each into a mini muffin tin cavity. Place a small cube of Brie and approximately 1/2 teaspoon of fig jam into each pastry cup. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves on top. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the pastry is golden and the cheese is bubbling. Allow tartlets to cool slightly before serving.
