Chewy Chocolate Ginger Cookies
I’ve loved Jamie and her cookies at Platine for nearly a decade now. She makes small versions of classic favorites but hands-down our favorite is her chocolate ginger cookie. We’ve modified our chewy ginger to give us a taste of what she whips up. Use freshly grated ginger if you can and throw in as much finely chopped chocolate as you can fit in these.
