• Ingredients
  1. 1 cup granulated sugar
  2. 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  3. 2 large eggs
  4. 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  5. 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  6. 1 cup all-purpose flour
  7. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  8. Pinch of salt
  9. 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  10. 1/3 cup minced candied ginger
  11. 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

1. In a bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the granulated sugar with the butter. Mix in the eggs, then add the cocoa and vanilla; beat at medium speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the bowl and add the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix the dough for 2 minutes. Stir in the chocolate chips and ginger. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
2. Preheat the oven to 350°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or foil. Form the dough into 1-inch balls and coat them generously with the confectioners' sugar. Arrange the balls 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the tops look cracked. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
