CHEWY CHOCOLATE GINGER MOLASSES COOKIES


 ~ Costco Connection - October 2021

3/4 c. butter, melted
1/3 c. sugar, plus extra for rolling
1/3 c. dark brown sugar, packed
1/3 c. molasses
1 1/2 T. grated fresh ginger
1 egg
1 t. vanilla
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. cocoa powder
1 t. baking soda 
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. ground ginger
1/2 t. salt
1 c. chocolate chips and/or chopped nuts

Stir butter, sugar, brown sugar, and molasses in large bowl. Whisk in fresh ginger, egg, and vanilla. Mix in the dry ingredients until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and/or nuts. Chill for at least two hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two baking sheets or line with parchment paper. Scoop one tablespoon of dough, shape into a ball, and roll in extra sugar until coated. Place sugar-coated balls 2 inches apart on baking sheet. 

Bake 10-12 minutes, or until tops have cracked and sides are set when gently pressed. Cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. 

Makes about 30 cookies. 

Notes: I use Pampered Chef's small scoop, which is about 1 tablespoon, and get about 50 cookies, which I bake on a silicone baking mat instead of greasing the sheets or using parchment paper. I add chocolate chips, but no nuts.
