I always make classic gingersnaps during the holiday season. I love these cookies though because the additional of milk chocolate to gingersnap cookies is brilliant. The combination is delicious!

Milk Chocolate Gingersnaps
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1½ teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup molasses
- 1½ cups (about 9 ounces) milk chocolate chips
- ¼ cup granulated white sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats.
- Sift the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl and using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and brown sugar until smooth and blended, about 1 minute. Add the egg and molasses and mix until blended. Reduce mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture, mixing just to incorporate. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the sugar on a large piece of wax or parchment paper. Roll a rounded tablespoon of dough between the palms of your hands into a 1¼ inch ball. Roll the ball in sugar. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies one sheet at a time until they feel firm on top but soft in the center and have several cracks, about 14 minutes. Cool the cookies on baking sheets for 5 minutes. Use a wide metal spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Cookies can be stored in a tightly covered container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Finished cookies may also be frozen until ready to place on cookie platters.
