Decadent Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies

Decadent Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies: The Ultimate Soft & Chewy Holiday Treat (Dairy-Free + Vegan Option!)

Prepare to be amazed by these incredibly soft and wonderfully chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies! We’ve taken the timeless charm of a classic holiday gingerbread cookie and infused it with a rich, irresistible chocolate twist, creating a treat that’s truly special. Whether you prefer baking with all-purpose or whole wheat flour, this recipe is incredibly versatile. Plus, it’s naturally dairy-free, with a simple vegan option available, making these cookies a delightful choice for everyone.

My culinary journey with these cookies began as an adaptation of a beloved recipe for Ina Garten’s Ginger Cookies. Over time, I’ve perfected it, reducing the sugar content for a more balanced sweetness, incorporating whole grains for added nutritional value, and swapping canola oil for the healthier, more flavorful olive oil in the original ginger version. This evolution led to what I consider, without a doubt, my absolute favorite ginger cookie.

For this exceptional chocolate iteration, I chose to use refined coconut oil (though olive oil works beautifully if that’s your preference), strategically replaced a portion of the flour with rich cocoa powder, and generously folded in luscious chocolate chunks. The result is a symphony of warm gingerbread spices and deep chocolate notes that dance on your palate.
