Ingredients

• 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
• 150 grams dark brown sugar, packed
• 80 milliliters molasses
• 1 large egg
• 190 grams all-purpose flour
• 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 120 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 100 grams granulated sugar (for coating)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and dark brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Add the molasses and egg to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 5

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 8

Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat for the remaining dough.

Step 9

Roll each dough ball in granulated sugar to coat it completely.

Step 10

Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.

Step 12

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve and enjoy these chewy, chocolatey ginger cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
