Chocolate Gingersnap Cookies

Okay, so these aren't "healthy" cookies... All the ingredients I use are the real thing! But, they are fairly low-cal anyway, so I thought I'd share for those who like the good stuff.

Following the recipe exactly and coming out with 4 dozen cookies, these are only 75 calories each!


2 sticks softened butter

1 Cup packed light brown sugar

1/4 Cup molasses

1 egg

1 3/4 Cup all purpose flour

1/2 Cup cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon McCormick Gourmet Roasted Saigon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon McCormick Gourmet Roasted Ground ginger

1/2 Cup sugar to roll cookies in

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In stand mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly add in molasses and egg until well combined.

2. In a separate mixing bowl mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Slowly add to wet ingredients, beat on low until just combined.

3. With a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough and roll into sugar then place onto silpat or parchment lined baking sheet. Press each cookie with the palm of your hand to about 1/2 inch thick. Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes or until cooked through.

Remove and let cool for 5 minutes then transfer to cooling rack. Now, time to eat!
