Baking these cookies will put the scent of the holidays into the air! I like chewy cookies with crisp edges. I also like some zip in my cookies so spice and chocolate is always a good one for me. This recipe fits the bill on all those scores nicely.
Chocolate Chewy Spicy Cookies
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup molasses
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional is you don't want the heat.)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup chocolate chips
Cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Add in the eggs and beat well. Add molasses and oil and continue beating. Mix in the rest of the ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips. Refrigerate the dough several hours or overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Scoop dough into 1-inch balls and roll in granulated sugar. Cookies will be flat when they are done, approximately 12-15 minutes. Let rest on baking sheet for a minute or two and then transfer to a cooling rack.
