Gingersnaps

December holds the record for the most cookies baked. We’ve been making cookies at least twice a week here. Not that I’m complaining but I don’t know how much more my hips can take.

You see, I have a big weakness for cookies. I can resist cakes, cheesecakes and fudge, and I would be just fine having only a few bites a day. But cookies, cookies I can munch on all day long. That could be trouble. No wonder holidays are not figure friendly at all.

Although, my little man is very much enjoying the abundance of cookies and baking with me. He is fascinated with my stand up mixer and loves adding ingredients to it while it’s mixing. He is like a mad scientist.

After we made some gingerbread man cookies this year, I got a craving for gingersnaps. I wanted to run a little experiment to see if I could pull off gingersnaps in a chocolate version. We totally nailed it.

They were not just really, really tasty as a chocolate cookie, they are very simple and the texture was perfect. Soft and chewy, just like I like it.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup melted salted butter

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup white granulated sugar for coating.

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, melted butter, egg, vanilla and molasses until smooth.
  • Sift in cocoa powder.
  • Add flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon and ground cloves. Mix until all combined. (You may have to switch to a spatula because the dough will get thick.)
  • Fold in mini chocolate chips.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll 1-inch cookie dough balls and lightly coat them with white granulated sugar. Place on a baking sheet and gently press down a little. Repeat with 8-more cookie dough balls (depending on a size of your cookie sheet), placing them 2 inches apart. (Refrigerate the dough in between batches.)
  • Bake for 10-11 minutes.
  • Cool on a wire rack and enjoy.
