To make these Mint Chocolate Gingerbread Delicacies, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves

For the frosting:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped dark chocolate and fresh mint leaves.
Using a cookie scoop, drop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until well combined. Add the heavy cream and peppermint extract, and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of frosting on top of each cookie. Garnish with additional chopped mint leaves, if desired.
These Mint Chocolate Gingerbread Delicacies are a perfect combination of sweet and spicy flavors. The soft and chewy gingerbread cookies are perfectly complemented by the rich and creamy chocolate frosting, with a refreshing hint of mint. These treats are perfect for any holiday gathering or special occasion.
