CHOCOLATE SPICE COOKIES



Chocolate Spice Cookies image

Believe it or not, the two cookies in this photo share the same delicious ginger-spiced dough. The main recipe will result in a patterned cookie laced with cocoa, embossed with a cookie stamp, and brushed with an orange-butter glaze; head to the variation for a simpler-but no less delicious-version that is packed with chopped semi-sweet chocolate and rolled in sanding sugar for sweet sparkle.

Time 55m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (from a 2-inch piece)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg, room temperature
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons Cointreau or strained orange juice, plus more if needed
1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • Cookies: Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk together flour, cocoa, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. In a large bowl, beat butter with brown sugar, fresh ginger, and baking soda until creamy. Add egg; beat to combine. Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture.
  • Scoop a scant 1/4 cup of dough (1.75 ounces); roll into a ball. Dust a cookie stamp with flour, tapping out excess. Place dough in center of stamp, then press evenly to cover shape of design. Place, dough-side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet and press until dough is about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Carefully remove (if it sticks, just gather up dough and start over). Repeat with remaining dough, arranging cookies 2 inches apart. Refrigerate 20 minutes; use a 2 3/4-inch round cutter to trim excess. Bake until firm to the touch, 11 to 13 minutes.
  • Glaze: Meanwhile, whisk together confectioners' sugar, Cointreau, butter, and salt; glaze should have the consistency of honey. (If too thick, whisk in more Cointreau.) Let cookies cool on sheets on a wire rack 8 minutes, then brush with glaze. Let cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

Yield Makes about 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spoon flour into dry-measure cup and level off)
1/3 cup alkalized (Dutch process) cocoa powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The chocolate is the star of the show in these cookies, so make sure to use a good-quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of. A bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is a good choice.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature helps them to develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. Let them cool completely before serving for the best flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

These chocolate spice cookies are the perfect holiday treat. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a festive and flavorful cookie recipe, give these chocolate spice cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
