    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------
    7 ounces best-quality semisweet chocolate
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
    1 teaspoon ground cloves
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1 tablespoon cocoa powder
    8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick) -- room temperature

    1. Line 2 baking sheets with Silpats (French baking mats, see Sources), and set aside.

    Chop chocolate into 1/4-inch chunks; set aside.

    In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and cocoa.

    2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream grated ginger and butter until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add brown sugar; beat until combined. Add molasses; beat until combined.

    3. Add the flour mixture in batches until fully incorporated. Mix in chocolate, cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm, 2 hours or more.

    4. Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place the sugar in a pie plate. Using a 1-ounce
    ice-cream scoop, scoop the dough into the bowl of sugar. Roll each ball of dough in sugar. Bake until surface cracks slightly, 13 to 15 minutes; let cool 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
