Recipe: chocolate gingerbread cookies
This post is coming to you from sunny (and hot) California. More specifically, you could call it sunny, hot, gorgeous, delightful, mouth-watering, seductive Sonoma County (and a little Napa too). It’s been looking like this:
vineyards
wine tastings
gardens
dinner at redd (those are scallops – bloody awesome scallops)
lovely grounds at wineries
the most brilliant lunch EVER
otoro sushi
Before I head into the sticks for a few days, I wanted to wish all of the wonderful moms out there a very happy Mother’s Day! The world would come to a halt without your love and dedication, so thank you for all you do. Of course, I have to give special shout outs to my two favorite moms: Mom (my mother-in-law) and Mom (my mom).
It seems fitting that today’s recipe should be something sweet, like those magical hugs that only moms can give. I recently tested a batch of these chocolate gingerbread cookies and I think they may be the new crack – but LEGAL!
butter, molasses, flour, dark brown sugar, ginger, chocolate, candied ginger, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, spices, fresh grated ginger, sugar
sift the flour, cocoa, salt, and spices together
beat the butter and fresh ginger together
add the brown sugar
**Jump for more butter**
