Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150g) + 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (45g) dark brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup (85g) molasses
- 1 large egg
- 2 1/4 cups (270g) all purpose flour
- 1/2 tbsp (5g) cornstarch
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 150g/5.3oz semi sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line or spray a baking sheet. Add the 1/4 cup granulated sugar for rolling into a small bowl and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, add the butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar and dark brown sugar. Cream together for 3 minutes.
- Add in the molasses and mix until incorporated. Add in the egg and mix until incorporated. (It's okay if your dough looks a little curdled after adding the molasses, this is normal)
- Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper and salt. Mix on low speed until incorporated. Then add the chopped chocolate and mix until just incorporated.
- Scoop 2 tbsp size cookies. Roll each dough ball into a circle and coat it in the granulated sugar you set aside earlier. Bake for 8-9 minutes, or until the edges just start to feel firm.
- Transfer to a wire rack to fully cool and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days and enjoy!
