Its time to start thinking about cookies not only for the upcoming holidays, but for warming the house when its cold outside. November is the month when I start to crave those warm, heady flavours of ginger, cinnamon and allspice these chewy, crackly cookies satisfy my craving for something festive and chocolate, all in one. Theyre perfect for lunchboxes and after-school snacks, or serve a platter of them warm, with icy milk shooters, for a deliciously different Thanksgiving dinner dessert.
These cookies are easy to mix together, lower in fat than most, and kids love rolling them into balls and then in sugar to coat.
Its a stiff chocolate dough, spiced with traditional gingerbread spices. Leave them out for plan chocolate cookies or swap peppermint extract for the vanilla.
Dough is rolled in regular sugar before baking for a crackly exterior.
These are best served warm. (Tip: Santa loves them.)

Add eggs, molasses and vanilla and stir by hand just until the dough comes together. Place a few heaping spoonfuls of sugar into a shallow dish. Roll dough into 1 1/2 balls and roll the balls in sugar to coat. Place them about 2 apart on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick spray.
