Chocolate Gingersnaps
This is a recipe combining two of my favorite cookies! Great around the holidays, especially when paired with a glass of milk!
Ingredient
-
½ cup butter, melted
-
½ cup packed light brown sugar
-
⅓ cup molasses
-
1 tablespoon water
-
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
4 teaspoons baking cocoa
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
¾ teaspoon ground ginger
-
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
1 ¼ cups milk chocolate chips, divided
-
⅛ cup white sugar
Direction
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Combine butter and brown sugar in a large bowl; beat together until fluffy. Beat in molasses and water.
-
Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg in a separate bowl. Slowly mix into the creamed butter mixture until smooth.
-
Place 1 cup chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 3 minutes. Add to the dough and mix well.
-
Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll in white sugar. Insert 1 chocolate chip into the center of each ball of dough. Make sure you can still see a bit of the chocolate chip sticking out, but not too much. Arrange on baking sheets.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until tops begin to crack, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 3 minutes before moving to wire racks to finish cooling.
