- Recipe Submitted by maryjosh on 01/16/2019
Ingredients List
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature or vegetable shortening***
- 1 cup plus ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup baking cocoa
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ -3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- Ginger Frosting***
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk or water
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- Desert Safe Adaptations: Vegetable shortening is recommended to reduce the risk of spoilage when shipping during hot weather. Skip the frosting. These cookies rolled in sugar, are pretty even without the frosting which could melt during hot weather shipping.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, and cinnamon.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter/vegetable shortening and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg and beat until combined.
• Add flour mixture. Mix until combined.
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• Using a small, 1 tablespoon scoop, form dough balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar before placing on prepared baking sheet, 2” apart.
• Before baking, press lightly on each cookie with a spatula to flatten slightly. Bake for 10-12 minutes. (Cookies made with butter will spread more and be flatter. Flatter cookies cook faster. Cookies made with vegetable shortening will spread very little. Thicker cookies may require the longer cooking time to bake all the way through and achieve a crunchy texture.)
• Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking tray, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely before storing or icing.
FROSTING: In a small bowl mix all ingredients together until smooth. Consistency should be just thin enough to drizzle from a spoon.
Place cookies on a wire rack over wax paper (to catch the drips). Place about one teaspoon of icing on the top of each cookie. The icing will drip over the sides and cracks of the cookie. Allow the icing to set(firm) completely at room temperature (several hours) before packing or storing.
Store at room temperature in an airtight container in layers separated by waxed paper for up to 7 days. Cookies will get crunchier and the spices more pronounced as the cookies age.
