I could not finish the year without another adaptation of my chocolate chip cookies, this time a holiday version with a recipe for gingerbread chocolate chunk cookies.
Just like the original ones, these cookies are chewy in the centre and crispy on the edges. But the addition of gingerbread spices, and especially the fragrant freshly ground star anise, give them a wonderful Christmas flavour.
While they were baking, the smell of the spices and chocolate traveled throughout the house and I wish I could have encapsulated it into a candle. It was hard not to eat those cookies straight out of the oven but two reasons why you should wait a little: the cookies do need to rest on the baking tray for at least 10 minutes as the residual heat helps to finish the cooking process, and you definitely do not want to burn your mouth on the molten chocolate chunks.
If you love both gingerbread biscuits and chocolate chip cookies, this is a perfect recipe to make for the holidays this year.
