sparkling ginger chip cookies {& a winner}.

November 6, 2011 by Hillary 7 Comments

We have a Godiva Coffee {& cookie!} GIVEAWAY winner. I randomly selected a reader Friday evening:

Comment #102: Kylie

I really enjoyed making the Sparkling Ginger Chip Cookies a la 101 Cookbooks today. I love recipes that just come together with ease. They’re actually quite similar to the Chewy Chocolate Ginger Cookies I made last November. I recommend you make one or the other – they accompany a hot cup of cinnamon vanilla black tea nicely and package up well for gift giving.

Hope you’ve had a lovely, fall weekend :)

Chewy Chocolate Ginger Cookies

November 24, 2010 by Hillary 8 Comments

I was at it again today…

Chewy Chocolate Ginger Cookies

Today’s recipe came from Miss Joy the Baker.

  • 2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
  • 3/4 c. (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 c. brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 c. molasses*
  • 3/4 c. chocolate chips [I ‘beefed up’ the original 1/2 c. & chose bittersweet > semisweet.]
  • 1/4 c. granulated sugar, for rolling

*Did you know molasses is an excellent source of iron?

Joy’s Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350*F.

Sift the flour, baking soda, spices and salt into a medium bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and brown sugar until smoothly blended, about 2 minutes. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl as needed during mixing. Add the egg and molasses and mix until blended and an even light color, about 1 minute. On low speed, add the flour mixture, mixing just to incorporate it. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Spread the granulated sugar into a small bowl. Roll a heaping tablespoon of dough between the palms of your hands into a ball, toss the ball in sugar to coat and place on the prepared baking sheet. Continue making cookies, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake the cookies one sheet at a time until the tops feel firm but they are still soft in the center and there are several large cracks on top, about 12-14 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then use a wide metal spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

The recipe made 28 cookies to wrap up and give to friends and family tomorrow as a simple gesture of my thankfulness.

Speaking of tomorrow… is your stomach getting hungry? All I have to do is take a glance at my plate from Thanksgiving 2009, and my mouth begins to water. I’m going for a longgg run in the morning with my gals – a holiday tradition – before making pizza pancakes for the parents. Then, it’s time to prepare the pies and potatoes.

I hope your day is deliciously enjoyable,

Hillary

At what time do you eat your Thanksgiving meal?

Unlike most, we don’t eat our meal until dinner time, around 6:00 or 7:00pm. Therefore, I will definitely be munching throughout the day tomorrow.

How do you healthify your Thanksgiving… or do you?

Our Thanksgiving meal tends to be rather healthy. I still consume an absurd amount of calories – I am sure – but we always start with a salad, and I try to make my plate as colorful as possible… then comes dessert ;)

❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We want to hear from YOU: Who has been your supportive soul sister through the ups and downs of 2020? ⁣⁣
