Chocolate Chip Ginger Crisps

This cookie recipe is a wonderful example of the perfect marriage of ginger and chocolate. The buttery cookies are delicate, almost lacy, but studded with chocolate chips and bits of crystallized ginger.

Makes 70 to 75 cookies
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup crystallized ginger, chopped *
1 1/2 cups (9 ounces semisweet chocolate chips)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and salt. In another bowl with an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, and beat in egg. Beat in flour mixture. Stir in ginger and chocolate chips.

Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 3 inches apart onto buttered baking sheets. Bake cookies in batches in the middle of oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until just golden. (In my oven, 11 minutes was perfect.) Cool cookies on baking sheet 1 minute and transfer to racks to cool completely.

Store in airtight containers, separated by sheets of wax paper.

* Look for the ready-to-use Baker's Bits crystallized ginger at Trader Joe's, Town & Country Shopping Center, 300 E. Stroop Road, Kettering.
