Chocolate Ginger Cookies
A truly unique cookie that blends the spices of gingerbread with the richness of chocolate.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 4 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp cloves
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 2 oz dark chocolate, melted
- 2/3 cup chocolate chips
- granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, blend softened butter and sugar. Add molasses, egg, and vanilla.
- Whisk together dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add to wet mixture and mix until completely blended.
- Mix in melted chocolate. Stir in chocolate chips. (Add as many chocolate chips as you'd like.)
- Roll into 2 in balls (I use a cookie scoop but you can also use your hands). Dip the tops in granulated sugar.
- Bake at 350 for 8-10 mins until tops start to crack slightly. Remove from baking tray immediately and put on cooling rack. Best served warm. Put in microwave for 5 seconds to warm up.
