Preheat the oven to 350 °F and line a baking tray with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, ground ginger, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Peel the fresh ginger and grate it into small bowl
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil. Once melted stir in the grated ginger and molasses until combined.
Pour the oil and molasses into the flour mixture and stir until combined. Add water to the dough if necessary, 1 tablespoon at a time, to get all the flour to incorporate into the dough.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Working quickly, roll pieces of dough into a ball. Place dough balls on your prepared baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the base looks slightly brown.
Notes
*I used half white and half wheat. All white flour would also work. **Instead of coconut sugar you can also use organic cane sugar.
