Chocolate Ginger Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F). Prepare 2 sheet pans with silpats or parchment paper.

In the bowl of a standing mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar together until fluffy. Add the molasses and beat to combine. Add the eggs and beat to combine.

In a separate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients (cocoa powder through the cloves on the above list) together.

Add the dry ingredients to the butter, sugar and molasses mixture. Add the bag of chocolate chips and combine.

Put 1/2 cup of sugar in a bowl. Scoop the dough by the rounded spoonful into the bowl of sugar. Roll the dough in the sugar. Place the cookies on the sheet pan. With the palm of your hand give each one a tap to slightly flatten it.

Bake the cookies at 350 degrees (F) for 10 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool.
Enjoy!
