Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Combine the butter, brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar and molasses in the bowl of a mixer. Granulated sugar is on the ingredient list twice, only use the first 1/4 cup listed for this step. Beat on medium high for about 4 minutes, until well mixed and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla and mix.
- In a medium bowl combine the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Stir to mix.
- Add the dry ingredients to the mixer bowl and combine on low speed until just mixed.
- Stir in the chocolate chunks.
- Place the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar on a small plate. Line the cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Use a cookie scoop to make 1 1/2 inch dough balls. Roll the dough balls in the plate of sugar to coat. Place the dough balls on the prepared cookie sheets, keeping them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until the cookies are set on the edges. Don't overbake! Let them cool on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack.
Notes
- Some people notice a bitter aftertaste of blackstrap molasses. Dark molasses will also work fine in the cookies if you prefer.
- Soften the butter to room temperature before starting.
- Do not overbake the cookies. Take them out of the oven when the edges are set but the middle still looks soft.
- Add some chocolate chips or chunks to the tops of the cookies after they come out of the oven.
