    These Triple Ginger Chocolate Chunk Cookies are my new favorite holiday cookies! cookingwithcurls.com

    It's Cookie Swap Day!! I am so excited to share these soft and crazy delicious Triple Ginger Chocolate Chunk Cookies with you today. Seriously, I cannot stop eating them!! This cookie swap is a bit different than usual swaps. We all sign up, names are drawn, and we are given a partner to swap "cookie recipes" with. No actual cookies are sent in the mail.

    These Triple Ginger Chocolate Chunk Cookies are my new favorite holiday cookies! cookingwithcurls.com

    I was partnered with my good friend Deb from Cooking on the Front Burner, and she sent me her son-in-law's favorite cookie recipe...Triple Ginger Chocolate Chunk Cookies. When I first read the title, I was not sure what to expect. Ginger and chocolate together? As soon as I tried the first cookie that came out of the oven, I was in love! 🙂

    How to make Triple Ginger Chocolate Chunk Cookies:

    These cookies need to chill, so don't turn on your ovens yet! Combine flour, cocoa, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg in a small bowl. Set aside.....

    In a large bowl. beat the butter, brown sugar, and fresh ginger together until well blended. Add the molasses and beat just until combined.....

    Dissolve the baking soda in 2 teaspoons of very hot water, then add to the batter.

    Add flour mixture and mix until just combined. Stir in chocolate chunks and crystallized ginger. Cover and refrigerate for one hour or overnight.....

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone liner. Roll a walnut sized scoop of dough in your hands, then roll around in granulated sugar to coat.

    Place cookies on baking sheet about 2-inches apart.....

    Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until cookies are cracked on top and firm around the edges. Cool on pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire cooling rack.....

    The chocolate flavor is subtle, the ginger has a bit of a bite, and these cookies are definitely coming back next year for the holidays!!

    For those of you that are new to cooking, or have never actually cooked with ginger, these are the three gingers that are used in these cookies.....

    You can find the crystallized ginger in the holiday baking section, or in the health food section in your local grocery store. The ground ginger is in the baking aisle with the other spices, and the fresh ginger is in the produce section. 😉

      Woah! These look awesome. I am a sucker for ginger and molasses. It does seem like an odd combination, but I'm willing to try! I could almost make these today but I need to get crystalized ginger! Thank you for this!
