Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 tablespoon unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
1/2 cup dark-brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons boiling water
7 ounces best-quality semisweet chocolate, cut into 1/4-inch chunks
1/4 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Line two baking sheets with parchment. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and cocoa.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and grated ginger until lightened, about 4 minutes. Add brown sugar; beat until combined. Add molasses; beat until combined.
  • In a small bowl, dissolve baking soda in boiling water. Beat half of flour mixture into butter mixture. Beat in baking-soda mixture, then remaining half of flour mixture. Mix in chocolate; turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Pat dough out to about 1 inch thick; seal with wrap. Refrigerate until firm, 2 hours or overnight.
  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Roll dough into 1 1/2- inch balls; place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Refrigerate 20 minutes. Roll in granulated sugar. Bake until the surfaces crack slightly, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating halfway through. Let cool on sheets 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely. Cookies are best the day they are made but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days.

8 Tbsp. (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 Tbsp. freshly grated ginger (optional)
1/2 cup dark-brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
1 Tsp. Baking soda
1/4 cup of granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees; line baking sheets with parchment paper. Chop chocolate into chunks and set aside.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a dark baking sheet: This will help the cookies bake evenly and prevent them from browning too much on the bottom.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: They should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to cook as they cool.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before decorating them: This will help the frosting set properly.
