Everything's nice about Mexican hot chocolate, which is why we dreamed up a cookie that showcases its signature qualities: deep cocoa flavor, a melt-in-your-mouth texture, and the assertive kick of cayenne pepper and cinnamon. Bake a batch or two, and wow a crowd -- or just your coworkers -- on Cinco de Mayo.

Time 27m

Yield 48-60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cream butter and both sugars until fluffy.
  • Add eggs and blend well.
  • Add cayenne, cocoa, baking soda and salt and blend very well. It's important to blend this stage completely so that heat is evenly distributed.
  • Add flour and blend.
  • Fold in chips.
  • Refrigerate for one hour.
  • Drop teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the cookies will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. Let them cool completely before serving for the best texture and flavor.

These chocolate cayenne cocktail cookies are a delicious and unique treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to holiday parties. And with just a few tips and tricks, you can easily make them at home.
