In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and cocoa. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and fresh ginger. Using an electric mixer, beat in the brown sugar and molasses.

In a separate container, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water. Add half the sifted ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until combined. Add the baking soda-water mixture and the remaining sifted ingredients. Mix well. Fold in the grated chocolate chunks.

Roll out the dough into ropes about 1 inch in diameter. Coat the dough with the superfine sugar. Slice the ropes horizontally into discs and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 300¡F. for 5-7 minutes, until just set. Remove from the oven and let cool.
