Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies
8 tablespoons organic whipped buttery spread (e.g., Earth Balance brand, no hydrogenated oils)
1 tablespoon grated organic ginger root
1/2 cup organic dark brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup raw agave nectar
1/2 cup unsulfured organic molasses
1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon organic, unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon organic cocoa powder (non-alkaline)
1 teaspoon baking soda
7 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat margarine, ginger, and sugars until whitened, about 4 minutes.
Add molasses and dry ingredients; scrape bowl and mix well. Mix in chocolate; turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Pat dough out to about 1 inch thick; seal with wrap; refrigerate or freeze until firm, 2 hours or more.
Heat oven to 300°F.
Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls; place 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Refrigerate 20 minutes. Roll in granulated sugar. Bake until the surfaces crack slightly, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to completely cool.
