Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup melted salted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup molasses
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup white granulated sugar for coating.

Instruction

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, melted butter, egg, vanilla and molasses until smooth.
  • Sift in cocoa powder.
  • Add flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon and ground cloves. Mix until all combined. (You may have to switch to a spatula because the dough will get thick.)
  • Fold in mini chocolate chips.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll 1-inch cookie dough balls and lightly coat them with white granulated sugar. Place on a baking sheet and gently press down a little. Repeat with 8-more cookie dough balls (depending on a size of your cookie sheet), placing them 2 inches apart. (Refrigerate the dough in between batches.)
  • Bake for 10-11 minutes.
  • Cool on a wire rack and enjoy.
