Add a photoI make these every year for family gatherings, it's one of my recipe cards that is barely legible anymore. They are a huge PITA, but people who like gingerbread will be talking about them for years. You have to follow ALL of the directions or they don't turn out right, even boiling a teaspoon of water. But at least the recipe makes a ton of cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups + 1 Tbs flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 molasses
- 7 oz semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 Tbs cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- 1/2 cup (1stick) butter
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda dissolved in 1 1/2 tsp boiling water
Directions
- Sift together flour, cocoa, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Set aside
- Cream butter and sugar, add molasses
- Mix in flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the baking soda mixture.
- Pat dough to about 1 inch thick, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm (2 hours or overnight).
- Preheat oven to 325. Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls (they are tiny), spaced 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Refrigerate 20 mins.
- Roll balls in sugar. Bake until surfaces crack slightly, 10 to 12 mins.
