Chocolate Ginger Cookies

Mike calls these particular cookies "hybrids" - the best from Martha Stewart's Chewy Chocolate Ginger Cookies and Ina Garten's Ultimate Ginger Cookies. He loves how Ina makes hers with 1 1/4 cups of chopped, candied ginger, but wanted the chewy texture and chocolate chunks in Martha's. Combining the two recipes somehow worked. They are full of ginger: grated fresh, chopped candied and ground. The semi-sweet chocolate chunks combined with molasses and assorted spices (cinnamon and nutmeg) compliment and give these cookies a nice, rich flavor. Rolled in sugar, mmm!

Mike, you're a baking fool! What a great idea to combine the two recipes.

"Hybrids"! You are so funny, but what a great idea - the best of both recipes!
