Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cup All-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¾ cup Unsalted butter room temperature

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  • Using a mixer, beat the butter and coconut sugar on medium for 2 minutes until it is light and fluffy. Add in milk and molasses. Mix until combined. Add in egg. Scrape the bowl and mix until combined and all butter is mixed in.
  • Add in flour a little bit at a time. Mix until combined. Add in chopped chocolate and mix on low.
  • Chill in the fridge for 1 hour. Then, preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with a baking silicone mat or parchment paper.
  • Use a large ice cream scoop (to make big cookies) and scoop large cookie dough balls. Place 6 cookies per cookie sheet. Take the extra chopped chocolate and top the cookie dough balls.
  • Bake cookies for 11-13 minutes. The cookies are done baking when the edges are slightly golden brown. Let it sit on cookie sheet for 4 minutes. Then, transfer to a cooling rack. *Optional- top warm cookies with flaky sea salt.

Notes

Flour- Make sure flour is spooned and leveled or use a kitchen scale. Compacted flour can create dry cookies.
Make sure butter and egg is room temperature before baking. Pull out 2 hours before making.
Chilling the dough is important to prevent the cookies from spreading.
