Chocolate gingerbread cookies
Chocolate gingerbread cookies are a delicious twist on traditional gingerbread cookies. They combine the warm, spicy flavors of gingerbread with the rich, indulgent taste of chocolate. These cookies typically contain a blend of ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and molasses, along with cocoa powder or melted chocolate for a chocolatey kick.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the molasses and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. If desired, fold in the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate.
- Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
- Flatten each cookie slightly with the palm of your hand.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still slightly soft in the middle.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy!
