Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
