Here's a cookie that has been on my to do list for quite some time. In the cooler months I suddenly remember to make certain cookies that I don't make during the summer or spring. I guess it must be the signs of fall, like leaves tumbling across the grass that make me think of pumpkins and spice and all things fall. I believe this recipe was in a cookie collection magazine....either Fine Cooking or Martha....I cannot remember which now.....it has been written out with a note to try it and for the life of me I cannot find the magazine......it's around here somewhere. Maybe I should clean up:) In any event, it takes a good reliable recipe for Ginger sparkles and adds chocolate to the mix. In my books...that's all good! It's moist, chewy and has a bit of ginger bite and the sweetness of chocolate.
Chocolate Ginger Sparkles
1/2 cup butter softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/4 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 1/3 cup flour
1/4 cup white sugar, extra
Cream butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in fresh ginger, & molasses. Add dry spices and baking soda and cocoa powder and mix in. Stir in flour and finally chocolate chips. Chill dough in fridge at least 30 minutes. Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and roll in extra sugar. Place on nonstick cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake at 325 F for 10 minutes until surface of the cookies appear cracked. Cool slightly on sheet before removing to cooling racks.
