My mother always enjoyed chocolate-covered ginger, so she decided to turn her favorite treat into a cookie. Her creation became a perfect expression of her own character: shockingly intense, absolutely unforgettable and superbly delightful! The chocolate design gives this cookie the elegant ornamentation it deserves.—Bethany Hammond, Vancouver, Washington

Ingredients

1 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 cup molasses
2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger
2 teaspoons grated fresh gingerroot
4-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 packages (10 ounces each) 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate baking chips, melted
4 ounces white baking chocolate, melted

Directions

In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugars until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg, then molasses, crystallized ginger and gingerroot. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and seasonings; gradually beat into creamed mixture.
Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or until firm enough to roll.
Preheat oven to 375°. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. round or 3-in. gingerbread man cookie cutter. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes or until set. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
Dip each cookie halfway into melted dark chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Drizzle with melted white chocolate; let stand until set.
