Chocolate Ginger Cookies
These are the perfect cookies for snacking on in the winter time. Snuggle up with the family, put on a movie and enjoy a few of these yummy treats.
On to these amazing cookies! I used dried, unsweetened ginger candy chunks to add some warmth to the cookies. I love the way that ginger just warms up my body from the inside. I know it’s not for everyone, but I really do enjoy it.
If you’re not a big fan of whole ginger, you can use fresh ginger in place of the candy bits in the cookie.
The original recipe called these “Gingersnaps”, but there was nothing snappy about them. They were thick and chewy and so good!

(3 dozen)
- 1/2 C Butter
- 1/2 C Dark Brown Sugar
- 1/4 C Molasses
- 1 Tbls Water
- 1 1/2 C Flour
- 1 1.4 tsp Ground Ginger

Instructions
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the molasses , water and ginger.
- Combine all dry ingredients and stir with a fork to mix together. Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture blending well and then stir in the chocolate chips and ginger bits.

- Remove from the oven and immediately add a large chunk of ginger to the center of the cookie. Push it down a bit to get it to stay.
