Soft, Chewy & Fabulous Chocolate Ginger Cookies! πŸŽ„πŸ¦Œ (DAY 2 of 12 Days of Cookies)

Published 5 days agoΒ β€’Β 2 min read

Hi Reader!

This was a reader recipe request (hi Kelly!) and I had so much fun putting it together!

This is a rich, chocolate cookie dough base that's loaded with cozy winter spices, molasses, cocoa powder, chocolate chips (or chunks) and three types of ginger: fresh ginger, ground ginger and candied ginger! πŸ‘‹πŸΌπŸ‘‹πŸΌ

This cookie dough is one bowl (so easy), under 30 minutes (so quick) and needs zero chill time (love to see it). Bonus, this is a great dough to freeze so you can make it now and bake it off later for gifts (notes just below the recipe on the website).

This is a GREAT cookie to ship! It holds up well for days!!

You can roll the cookie dough in granulated sugar, Demerara sugar or sparkling sugar. They all have their own advantages. For me, Demerara sugar won since it was beautiful and added another layer of molasses flavor to the cookie. You can see photos of all three in the photo below.

As always, leave any questions on the recipe page and I'll get back asap. I hope you love this one as much as I do!

Happy Sunday Reader! Marshmallow + chocolate is another one of my favorite flavor combinations and these cookies deliver! Several years ago I started working on this cookie and I wasn't dazzled with how it was turning out and so I just dropped it.

Each piece of dough has 3 mini marshmallows nestled inside for the perfect gooey center. I tested this cookie dough...

Hi Reader! This peanut butter cookie has a perfect soft, chewy texture that's loaded with flavors of vanilla, dark brown sugar and creamy peanut butter. They're perfect. I love them topped with dark chocolate kisses, but feel free to use milk chocolate. Whichever strikes your fancy. This one-bowl recipe is super quick and easy to throw together and takes just 10 minutes (!!). You can bake them straight away, but the real magic in this cookie dough comes when you give it an overnight...
