For the Cookies

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg

1 cup brown sugar, packed (either light or dark)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup unsulphered molasses (not blackstrap, it's much more pungent and bitter; I use Grandma's Original)

2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 tablespoon natural unsweetened cocoa powder

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger

1 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

2 1/4 to 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour* (see note)

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

6 ounces (3/4 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips

about 5 ounces bittersweet baking chocolate or dark chocolate, roughly chopped into chunks (I use Trader Joe's 72% Pound Plus bar; use a favorite bold dark chocolate or chocolate bar)

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating for Rolling

about 3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon
