hot chocolate cookies
ingredients
192 grams (6 ¾ oz) All purpose flour
114 grams (4oz) cocoa powder
6 grams (1 teaspoon) baking soda
2 grams (1 teaspoon) cinnamon
1 gram (1 teaspoon) cayenne
220 grams (1 cup) brown sugar
200 grams (1 cup) granulated sugar
56 grams (2 oz) butter
165 grams (¾ cup) canola oil
2 eggs
13 grams (1 tablespoon) vanilla extract
170 grams (1 cup) semi sweet chocolate chunks
45 grams (3 tablespoons) crystallized ginger chopped into small pieces
Maldon sea salt for dipping cookies
Makes 12 cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and cayenne in a large mixing bowl.
In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment cream combine both sugars with the butter and on low speed for 2-3 minutes. Add in the oil, eggs and vanilla, continue to mix for 30 seconds until combined.
Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Fold in chocolate chunks and chopped ginger.
Use a 2oz scoop or a ¼ cup measuring cup to form cookies into balls and press down. Dip the top of cookie into sea salt and then place on a prepared cookie sheet. Let dough chill for at least 30 minutes before baking.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating 180 degrees halfway through baking. The cookies should be a little soft when they come out of the oven as they will harden a little bit as they cool
