For chocolate gingerbread men cookies, take a double boiler and on top add the chocolate squares, molasses, and butter. Heat till the chocolate melts. Stir the mixture till it becomes smooth.

Take a separate bowl, and mix together flour, baking powder, sugar, ginger, baking soda, and salt very well.

Then add the molasses mixture to this bowl and mix well.

Whisk the egg and add it to the bowl and mix well.

Finally add milk to this bowl and mix everything very well. Cover this mixture and keep it in the fridge for at least an hour or till it gets firm.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

With a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Take the gingerbread man cookie cutter and cut the dough into shapes.

Keep the cutouts on ungreased baking sheets.

Repeat the same with the remaining dough; then chill and reroll the scraps.

Now, bake for 8 - 10 minutes or until the edges get firm. Then allow the gingerbread cookies to cool slightly on the cookie sheet. Transfer the cookies on a wire rack to cool completely.

Decorate the chewy chocolate gingerbread cookies with icing and candies of your choice.
