Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk (any type)
- 1 cup Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, black pepper, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Lightly press down on each dough ball to flatten slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies with a cup of chai or your favorite beverage, and enjoy the cozy flavors!
