CHOCOLATE SPICE COOKIES



Chocolate Spice Cookies image

Believe it or not, the two cookies in this photo share the same delicious ginger-spiced dough. The main recipe will result in a patterned cookie laced with cocoa, embossed with a cookie stamp, and brushed with an orange-butter glaze; head to the variation for a simpler-but no less delicious-version that is packed with chopped semi-sweet chocolate and rolled in sanding sugar for sweet sparkle.

Time 55m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (from a 2-inch piece)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg, room temperature
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons Cointreau or strained orange juice, plus more if needed
1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • Cookies: Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk together flour, cocoa, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. In a large bowl, beat butter with brown sugar, fresh ginger, and baking soda until creamy. Add egg; beat to combine. Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture.
  • Scoop a scant 1/4 cup of dough (1.75 ounces); roll into a ball. Dust a cookie stamp with flour, tapping out excess. Place dough in center of stamp, then press evenly to cover shape of design. Place, dough-side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet and press until dough is about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Carefully remove (if it sticks, just gather up dough and start over). Repeat with remaining dough, arranging cookies 2 inches apart. Refrigerate 20 minutes; use a 2 3/4-inch round cutter to trim excess. Bake until firm to the touch, 11 to 13 minutes.
  • Glaze: Meanwhile, whisk together confectioners' sugar, Cointreau, butter, and salt; glaze should have the consistency of honey. (If too thick, whisk in more Cointreau.) Let cookies cool on sheets on a wire rack 8 minutes, then brush with glaze. Let cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

SPICED MOCHA CHIP COOKIES



Spiced Mocha Chip Cookies image

This is my adaptation of a recipe from Nestle, posted by request. I decreased the amount of instant coffee, because I found the original amount to be waaay to much. This is a good recipe to use the new swirled morsels in. NOTES: yield given is if a cookie scoop is used to dole them out. Cooking time is approximate per batch.

Time 25m

Yield 5 dozen, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups flour
8 teaspoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract or 1 teaspoon orange extract, gives a nice flavor,too
5 tablespoons instant coffee
3 tablespoons warm water
2 (10 ounce) bags Nestle semi-sweet and white chocolate swirled chocolate morsels, divided (or substitute 1-10oz bag of semisweet and 1-10oz bag white chips)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Lightly grease cookie sheet (I like to use multiples, no waiting for cool time) In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar and white sugar together until light and fluffy (this may take several minutes, depending on the strength of your mixer).
  • Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well.
  • Mix in extracts.
  • Combine instant coffee and water in a small bowl and stir until fully dissolved.
  • Mix coffee into butter/sugar mixture.
  • Gradually mix flour mixture into butter mixture.
  • Set aside 1/2 cup of morsels (for sprinkling and making the cookies pretty), and stir remaining morsels into dough.
  • Drop by cookie scoop (or by rounded teaspoonfuls) onto prepared pans.
  • For visual effect, sprinkle a few of the reserved morsels onto each cookie.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges look done but centers appear slightly underbaked (I find that after the first batch, consecutive batches may take as little as 6 minutes to bake- I watch them carefully to prevent overbaking).
  • Allow to cool on pan for 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling (be sure to eat at least one cookie while still warm!).
