SPARKLING GINGER CHIP COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Dessert     Bake

Yield 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup / 3.5 oz / turbinado sugar
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup unsulphured molasses
2/3 cup fine grain natural cane sugar, sifted
1 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, peeled
1 large egg, well beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F racks in the top and bottom third of the oven. Line a couple baking sheets with unbleached parchment paper or a Silpat mat, and place the large-grain sugar in a small bowl. Set aside. Finely chop the chocolate bar into 1/8-inch pieces, more like (mostly) shavings really. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, and salt. Heat the butter in a saucepan until it is just barely melted. Remove from heat and stir in the molasses, sugar, and fresh ginger. The mixture should be warm, but not hot at this point, if it is hot to the touch let it cool a bit. Whisk in the egg. Now pour this over the flour mixture, and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate. I like these cookies tiny, barely bite-sized, so I scoop out the dough in exact, level tablespoons. I then tear those pieces of dough in two before rolling each 1/2 tablespoon of dough into a ball shape. From there, grab a small handful of the big sugar you set aside earlier and roll each ball between your palms to heavily coat the outside of each dough ball. Place dough a few inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 7-10 minutes or until cookies puff up, darken a bit, and get quite fragrant. Makes roughly 4 dozen.

These cookies were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor.

I thought these cookies were going to be too sweet, but they're actually perfectly balanced. The ginger flavor really shines through.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and hard. They didn't taste very good either.
