Very chocolatey Lime and Ginger Cookies

These cookies are not the healthiest, unfortunately. Oh well, a little bit of indulgence from time to time cannot be that bad ;) Actually, I made these as part of a birthday gift for someone, thank goodness, so it stopped me from eating too many of them... Hope he'll like them ;)



Ingredients

225 g dark chocolate, melted
4 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup plain flour
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated fresh root ginger
zest of 1 lime

Instructions

1. Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler.

2. Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.

3. In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs with sugar and vanilla, add ginger and lime zest and mix again. Add the melted chocolate and mix well. Add the flour mixture. Stir well.

4. Spoon the mixture immediately on the lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven (175 C) for 15 minutes. Cookies should be shiny and have cracked surface, but soft inside. Cool on the wire rack.
