These cookies can really go for any holiday dependent on the colored sugar you use. I prefer them in fall and winter cooking (my absolute favorite time to bake), because of the gingerbread flavor. A little trick, to get your desired colored sugar if you don't want to buy it, mix a few drops of food coloring per half a cup of sugar. Shake well and add more or less drops to get the vibrancy you desire.

How To Make holiday chocolate chocolate chip ginger cookies

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, beat brown sugar, butter, and vanilla for 1 minutes. Then add molasses.

Step 2

Sift in the rest of the dry ingredients, save chocolate chips. Beat for 3 minutes.
Step 3

Fold in chips with wooden spoon.
Step 4

In a small bowl, add rolling ingredients.
Step 5

Take dough and roll into small, 1in balls. Then roll in rolling ingredients and place on a greased cooking sheet.
Step 6

Place cooking sheet in freezer for 10 minutes. Then in an oven of 325F for 10 minutes.
Step 7

If you really want to focus on the ginger flavor, when removing cookies from oven, impress a piece of cubed candied ginger in the center of each cookie.
Step 8

Allow to rest on cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Then remove to cooling rack. Although, this is about the time my husband steals a cookie. ;)
