For Everyone who loves Gingerbread and Dark Chocolate this recipe is for you! Add some spice in your life with this yummy cookie!!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. ground cloves

Pinch of Nutmeg

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 1/2 tsp. ground ginger

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

2/3 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup molasses

2 eggs

1 cup of dark chocolate chunks (at least 50% I used 70%) you can cut up a dark chocolate bar or I used Ghirardelli chocolate discs that I picked up from the Lindt outlet store.

Mix together the butter and sugar until light & fluffy. Stir in the eggs and molasses until combined. In a separate bowl sift together all of the dry ingredients. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the molasses mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chunks. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and flatten slightly on a lined cookie sheet. Place the cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Let cool on a cooling rack and enjoy! Store cookies in an airtight container.

Here is a recipe inspired by the recent "indiscretions" of Jesse James. What would I do and what would I bake when I finally allowed someone into my world and completely trusted him to only have him hook up with multiple women behind my back! ... Well of course I would be angry, seriously angry. I would need a recipe that called for a lot of smashing and also some alcohol. That recipe is "You Are Lucky I Didn't Rip Your Rum Balls Off" I told you it was angry... get out your hammer ladies there are some nuts that need to be crushed and by nuts I mean almonds .............................. 1 1/2 cups of almonds (smashed into very fine pieces and roasted in the oven at 325 degrees for app. 7 minutes; stirring often) ... 1 1/4 cups of vanilla wafer cookies (finely crushed) ... 1/2 cup icing sugar ... 3 Tbsp. cocoa ... 3 Tbsp. corn syrup ... 1/3 cup of rum ( I used Honey Rum from the Canary Islands) ... Thoroughly combine the crushed almonds, crushed wafer cookies, icing sugar and cocoa. Stir in the corn syrup and rum ... Put the mixture in the fridge to firm up for easier handling. Roll mixture unto small balls and then roll in icing sugar ( you will need about 1/4 cup of icing sugar to roll them in) ... Let rum balls sit in the fridge for a day or two it's really important for all the ingredients to hang out and get to know each other, adds to the overall flavour ... A serious Emotional Baking Recipe!
