These chocolate gingerbread cookies are perfectly soft, chewy and loaded with spicy Christmas goodness. Can also be made vegan.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (138 grams) Bob's Red Mill Paleo Baking Flour
  • 2/3 cup (77 grams) Dutch-process cocoa powder the regular kind probably works, too
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup (133 grams) coconut sugar very tightly packed
  • 1/4 cup (56 grams) coconut oil melted
  • 1/3 cup (117 grams) molasses
  • 1 large egg 50 grams, out of shell, room temperature; or 1 chia egg for vegan
  • 1 cup (170 grams) chocolate chips divided; make sure to use paleo / vegan chocolate, if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
    1 1/2 cups (138 grams) Bob's Red Mill Paleo Baking Flour, 2/3 cup (77 grams) Dutch-process cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • With an electric mixer or stand mixer, beat the sugar, oil, and molasses on medium until well combined. Add the egg, and beat until combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix on medium until combined.
    2/3 cup (133 grams) coconut sugar, 1/4 cup (56 grams) coconut oil, 1/3 cup (117 grams) molasses, 1 large egg
  • Stir in 3/4 cup chocolate chips (ignore the quantity listed below - it's a technical error I can't change).
    1 cup (170 grams) chocolate chips
  • Roll into 16 45-gram balls and flatten the balls with your palm. They don't spread very much. Top with remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips (ignore the quantity listed below - it's a technical error I can't change).
    1 cup (170 grams) chocolate chips
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until the tops crackle. Cool the cookies on the sheets for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Once totally cool, store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or refrigerate for 1 week. Can also be frozen.
