Delicious Chocolate Ginger Cookies Recipe to Try

Ingredients

Servings:
36
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup crystallized ginger (chopped)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Ensure the oven is fully heated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

    Sifting the cocoa powder can help prevent lumps.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars

    In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use room temperature butter for best results.
  4. Add Egg and Flavorings

    Add the egg, grated ginger, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix well.

    Beat the mixture until fully combined.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in chopped crystallized ginger and chocolate chips.

    Do not overmix the dough.
  6. Shape Cookies

    Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

    You can use a cookie scoop for uniformity.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set.

    Cookies will continue to set as they cool on the baking sheet.
  8. Cool and Dust

    Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

    Serve warm for the best texture.
