The combination of flavors is the best of both worlds. This is a classic <strong>chocolate chip cookie recipe with a touch of gingerbread flavor<\/strong>&mdash;a bit of molasses, a spoonful of ginger, and a dash of a few other spices as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These cookies are <em>amazing<\/em>! They&rsquo;ve retained the crispy-on-the-outside-chewy-on-the-inside texture of chocolate chip cookies, as well as the flavor of light brown sugar. However, the molasses, ginger, and other spices gives them a warm, toasty, homey flavor that elevates them from the typical chocolate chip cookie, and makes them the perfect holiday treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Add these into your Christmas cookie rotation for all of your chocaholic friends who need a break from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/big-soft-sugar-cookies\/\">sugar cookies<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/fudge-striped-shortbread-cookies\/\">shortbread<\/a>.

(<em>Links are affiliate links and I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">All-purpose flour:<\/span><\/strong> &ldquo;Regular&rdquo; flour, aka all-purpose, is what we&rsquo;re using. I recommend actually weighing the flour (and all of your ingredients!) for a more accurate result, but you can also spoon it into the measuring cup and gently level it off. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Baking soda &amp; Baking powder:<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> you need both leavening agents to create a perfectly light yet moist texture. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Corn starch<\/strong>:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3w71z2Z\" data-eafl-id=\"68588\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Corn starch<\/a> gives the cookies a tender, melting texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Spices:<\/span><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3lHxcdG\" data-eafl-id=\"67978\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ground ginger<\/a> in a MUST in this recipe! (The name &ldquo;gingerbread&rdquo; was probably a giveaway for that.) The recipe also calls for ground nutmeg and cloves, which I think rounds out the spice profile nicely. But you can swap in other spices, like cinnamon or allspice, if that&rsquo;s what you have on hand. I think cardamom is a nice addition as well! It&rsquo;s a flexible recipe, so whatever warm baking spices you enjoy should work well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Unsalted butter<\/strong>:<\/span> Your butter should be at room temperature to make these cookies. This means it&rsquo;s pliable but cool&ndash;you don&rsquo;t want it to be greasy and melty. I always recommend unsalted butter in baking, so you can control the precise amount of salt. If you only have salted butter, use that but omit the additional salt in the recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Brown sugar:<\/span><\/strong> brown sugar gives a deeper flavor and helps keep the cookies moist. I typically use dark brown sugar, but dark or light will both work. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Granulated sugar:<\/span><\/strong> A bit of granulated sugar helps give the cookies those signature crispy edges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Molasses:<\/span><\/strong> Be sure to use <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/39zoCLv\" data-eafl-id=\"51417\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">regular molasses<\/a> in this recipe, not blackstrap molasses. Molasses is key for the deep gingerbread flavor we&rsquo;re going for. As a bonus, it also helps keep the cookies moist!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Egg:<\/span><\/strong> Use a large egg, and for the best results, have it at room temperature before beginning. Either let it sit out for 20-30 minutes, or submerge it in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes to warm it up quickly. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Vanilla extract:<\/span><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3dFNvH3\" data-eafl-id=\"64154\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Nielsen-Massey Bourbon vanilla extract<\/a> is my go-to vanilla extract, but any &ldquo;real&rdquo; vanilla (not artificial) is a good choice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Semi-sweet chocolate chips:<\/span><\/strong> This recipe uses semi-sweet chocolate chips. It&rsquo;s important to use a high-quality, flavorful chocolate that you enjoy the taste of. Using old or waxy chocolate chips will produce disappointing results! Instead, get quality semi-sweet chocolate chips like <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3WivceP\" data-eafl-id=\"68975\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Guittard chocolate chips<\/a> for this recipe.

An overnight rest gives the flour in the dough more time to hydrate and absorb moisture from the egg and molasses. This deepens the flavor and also improves the cookies&rsquo; texture, giving them even more of a contrast between the crisp edges and soft, barely-cooked interior. OF COURSE they&rsquo;ll still be tasty if you bake them right after making the dough, but if you have the time, give it a try!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Follow the recipe&nbsp;<em>exactly<\/em>.<\/strong>&nbsp;If you make substitutions, or skip steps, or change the method, I can&rsquo;t guarantee your results. This includes making sure your ingredients are the right temperature, that you&rsquo;re using the right equipment, and that you&rsquo;re paying attention to mixing and baking times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don&rsquo;t overmix the dough.<\/strong> A common mistake when making cookies is overmixing the dough. If you continue mixing after the ingredients are combined, the gluten in the flour will become over-actived, and you&rsquo;ll end up with tough, dense cookies. Stop mixing when there are just a few flour streaks left in the dough and then finish mixing gently by hand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Measure with precision.<\/strong>&nbsp;Either use a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/46O5T9F\" data-eafl-id=\"62991\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">kitchen scale<\/a> (the best!), or use the spoon and level method when measuring the flour. Spooning it into the measuring cup is better and more precise than just dipping your measuring cup in the flour bin. When you dip into the flour bin, the flour gets compacted in the cup and you&rsquo;ll end up with more flour than the recipe needs. More flour = dry cookies that don&rsquo;t spread.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cream the butter and sugar.<\/strong>&nbsp;There&rsquo;s more to creaming butter and sugar than simply mixing them together. It will take 1-2 minutes to fully cream the mixture. You&rsquo;re looking for visible changes in color and texture; the color should be lighter and the texture should look fluffy. Under-creaming = cookies that don&rsquo;t spread and have a coarse texture. Over-creaming = cookies that are too flat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use the right baking surface.&nbsp;<\/strong>To bake the cookies, line an&nbsp;aluminum, light-colored, non-insulated baking sheet with parchment paper.

It works like magic. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1697241850529\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">My cookies Didn&rsquo;t Spread at all<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If your cookies didn&rsquo;t spread after baking, or have a lumpy or coarse texture, the most common reasons are:<br><br>&ndash; the butter was too cold<br>&ndash; the butter and sugar weren&rsquo;t creamed together for long enough<br>&ndash; too much flour was used<br>&ndash; dark baking sheet was used<br>&ndash; oven was too hot<br><br>It is important that any refrigerated ingredients be at room temperature before beginning, and that you cream the butter and sugar together for several minutes, until light and fluffy. Under-creaming the butter\/sugar can result in a coarse cookie that doesn&rsquo;t spread properly, and ingredients cream together easier when they are not cold.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1733963549629\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Make-Ahead and Storage Information<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>Make-ahead: <\/strong>These cookies really benefit from a rest period before baking. They&rsquo;re still delicious when baked fresh, but if you have the time, I highly recommend letting the dough sit for at least overnight, or up to 3 days, in the refrigerator before baking.<br><strong>Keep at room temperature or refrigerate:<\/strong> The cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or up to a week in the fridge. <br><strong>Freeze:<\/strong> After the cookies have fully cooled, you can place them in a freezer-safe container and store them for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge and then bring to room temperature to enjoy.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Gingerbread Chocolate Chip Cookies are a holiday twist on an old familiar favorite!
