Molasses, vanilla, cinnamon, and cloves give these chocolate gingerbread cookies a wonderful flavor, yet the spices complement the chocolate harmoniously rather than overpowering it. Bits of candied ginger also add texture and a piquant note. The cookies are soft with a crisp, sugary crust on top. Be careful not to overbake them, or they'll harden completely: once they've become opaque and cracked, it's time to remove them.
