Categories     dessert

Time 44m

Yield 3 dozen (1 1/2-inch) cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes, softened
2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups sugar, plus 1/2 cup for topping
1/2 cup cocoa powder, sifted
2 teaspoons crushed, dried chipotle peppers
4 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon water
1/2 pound high-quality bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
1 1/2 cups high-quality bittersweet chocolate chips or chunks, plus 1/2 cup for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, add butter and beat with the paddle attachment until smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl as necessary to evenly cream it. Add the sugars, sifted cocoa powder and chipotle peppers and mix again at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add eggs, vanilla and water. Beat at medium speed until combined, about 30 seconds. Add slightly cooled melted chocolate and mix again, scraping bowl to evenly mix everything.
  • Add the flour mixture, scraping sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. When well incorporated, add the chips and mix briefly, about 5 seconds.
  • Refrigerate the dough in the bowl until cool and fudge-like, but not solid, for approximately 1 hour. You can use an ice cream scoop to create large, even sized cookies. These cookie-dough balls can also be frozen at this point, and baked right from the freezer whenever the need arises.
  • When ready to bake, press the tops of the cookie dough-balls into the sugar, and then top with 2 to 3 pieces of dark chocolate chips. Place onto parchment-lined baking sheets, allowing space for the cookies to spread. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven when they are still a little underdone. Slide the parchment paper with the cookies onto a cooling rack and allow to cool before removing from parchment

CHOCOLATE CHIPOTLE COOKIES



Chocolate Chipotle Cookies image

I found this recipe on a baking blog that I frequently read. These cookies have a Southwest flair that satify a chocolate craving with a little spicy kick! The original recipe called for 2 cups of nuts, roughly chopped and toasted, but I don't really care for nuts in cookies, so I never make them that way.

Time 1h

Yield 42 cookies, 18-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon dried chipotle powder
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)
3/4 cup granulated sugar (can use 1/4 c. Splenda as part of it)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 (12 ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup granulated sugar

CHOCOLATE CINNAMON CHIPOTLE COOKIES



CHOCOLATE CINNAMON CHIPOTLE COOKIES image

Yield 12 large ookies

Number Of Ingredients 22

FOR THE COOKIES
2 cups flour, plus more for the work surface
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder or ancho chili powder
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at a cool room temperature
2 tablespoons chilled vegetable shortening
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ounces dark chocolate (60 to 72 percent cacao), melted and cooled
FOR THE FILLER ICING
3 1/2 to 4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 large egg whites, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
FOR THE ROYAL ICING
3 cups confectioners' sugar, or more as needed
2 large egg whites, or more as needed
1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Assorted food gel colors

Steps:

  • -Whisk together flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder & chili powder. -Beat butter & shortening on medium speed until combined. Scrape down bowl. Add sugar & beat until light & fluffy. Scrape. -Add egg & vanilla; beat on med speed until combined. Scrape. Add chocolate & beat on low until combined. Scrape. -Add 1/2 flour mixture & beat on low 15 sec, then add remaining flour mixture & beat until combined. Dough will be sticky. Divide in half & wrap both halves in plastic. Refrig for at least 2 h & up to 3 days. -Preheat 325 degrees. Line baking sheets w/ parchment paper. -Lightly flour work surface. With 1/2 of dough, dust lightly on both sides w/ flour. Roll out to thickness of 1/4 in. Cut shapes, re-rolling scraps; transfer the cutouts to a baking sheet, spacing them 1" apart. Freeze for 15 min. -Repeat with the remaining dough. -Bake one sheet at a time for 10 - 12 min, turning halfway through, until dry and just set. Cool on sheet on rack 5 min, just the cookies on rack. For the filler icing: Combine 3.5 cups confectioners' sugar & the cream of tartar in bowl; beat on low to get rid of lumps, then add the egg whites & lemon juice, beating until completely smooth. Should have the texture of a thick, shiny glaze. If too thick, beat in an extra egg white; if too thin, add some confectioners' sugar, a tbsp at a time. -Pipe the icing around the edge of each cookie; let dry for 15 min. -Use the remaining icing in the piping bag (no tip) to fill in each cookie. Be sparing; use the back of a spoon or a brush to help evenly distribute the icing. Let the icing dry for 8 h or overnight. -For the royal icing: Combine the confectioners' sugar, egg whites & 1 tsp of the lemon juice; beat on low-med speed for 3-5 min, until completely smooth. Icing should create a peak that falls over a bit when beater is lifter; slightly thicker than the filler icing. If not, add egg white &/or lemon juice 1/2 tsp at a time to thin, or 1 tsp confectioners sugar. Tint and decorate.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Dark chocolate, semisweet chocolate, or a combination of both are all good choices.
  • If you don't have chipotle powder, you can use a pinch of cayenne pepper instead. Just be careful not to add too much, as it can be overpowering.
  • To make the cookies even more chocolatey, you can add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the batter.
  • If you want a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Don't overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set, as they will continue to cook as they cool.

Conclusion:

These chocolate cinnamon chipotle cookies are the perfect combination of sweet, spicy, and chocolatey. They're easy to make and always a hit with friends and family. So next time you're looking for a delicious and unique cookie recipe, give these a try.
