Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus 1 tablespoon, 200 grams
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves ground
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg grated
- 1 tablespoon Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 unsalted butter at cool room temperature, stick, 113 grams
- 1 tablespoon ginger peeled and grated, fresh
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar packed, 100 grams
- 1/2 cup molasses unsulfured, 170 grams
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate cut into small chunks, 227 grams
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar for rolling, 50 grams
Instructions
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and cocoa. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and fresh ginger on medium speed until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add brown sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the molasses and beat until combined.
- On low speed, gradually add in the flour mixture. Stir in the chocolate chunks until just combined. Cover with plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Using a medium spring-loaded cookie scoop, scoop the dough into 1 1/2-tablespoon balls and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Roll each ball in the granulated sugar.
- Bake until surfaces just begin to crack, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Recipe adapted from Martha Stewart's Cookies
- Check your spices to ensure they’re not expired. Even if they're not expired, check they're still very aromatic. Older spices carry less flavor and fresh spices will carry much more flavor. So, just be aware of that and feel free to adjust accordingly.
