Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the butter, ginger, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and molasses in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until it becomes light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Reduce the mixer speed to low. Slowly stir in the dry ingredients until mixed. Add egg, then add water only as needed.Add the chocolate chips and stir just until combined. Roll the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and then roll in granulated sugar, and place 1-inch apart on the baking sheet. Bake the cookies until cracks begin to form on the top, about 15 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
