Ingredients:

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy

Add the egg and molasses to the mixture, and mix until well combined

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and black pepper if using

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms

If desired, mix in the chocolate chips

Divide the dough into two equal portions, flatten each portion into a disc, and wrap them in plastic wrap

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line baking sheets with parchment paper

On a floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness

Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheets

Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the remaining dough

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are slightly firm

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely

Once cooled, you can decorate the cookies with icing, sprinkles, or leave them as they are

Enjoy your delicious chocolate gingerbread cut out cookies!
