1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground clove
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 tablespoon molasses
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
4 tablespoons caramel syrup
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon and clove. In a large mixing bowl, on medium speed, beat together butter, brown sugar and vanilla until creamy and smooth. Beat in egg, molasses and chocolate until well combined. Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips until combined. Chill dough 1 hour or until cold.
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheets, spacing about an inch apart. Bake 12-14 minutes or until crisp. Cool 1 minute before transferring to wire racks to cool. Cool cookies 15 minutes. Drizzle caramel on cookies; sprinkle with sea salt.
Makes 40 cookies
