Time 25m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups rolled oats
1 block of Mexican chocolate
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, or more to taste
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place the oatmeal in a blender and pulse the blender on high for 2 seconds, 5 or 6 times; transfer to a bowl.
  • Break the chocolate along the scores and pulse until it reaches a powdered form. Make sure to stir with a spoon between pulses so the heat from the blender doesn't melt the chocolate. Add the chocolate to the oatmeal; set aside.
  • Beat the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat one egg into the mixture until completely incorporated. Add the second egg along with the vanilla extract and continue beating.
  • Stir the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl; add to the butter mixture and stir until combined. Mix the oatmeal and chocolate into the mixture. Drop teaspoonfuls of the dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden-brown on the edges and set in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool briefly on the baking sheets before being moved to cooking racks to cool completely.

MEXICAN CHOCOLATE COOKIES



Mexican Chocolate Cookies image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 40 to 45 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsweetened Dutch Process cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons sweet butter, slightly softened
3 tablespoons stick margarine
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Generous pinch of ground black pepper
Generous pinch of cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg white

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, cocoa, soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly with a whisk. Set aside. Combine the sugars in a small bowl and mix well with fingers pressing out any lumps. (Process in a food processor if lumps are stubborn).
  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat butter and margarine until creamy. Add sugar mixture, cinnamon, peppers, and vanilla. Beat on high speed for about one minute. Beat in egg white. Stop the mixer. Add the flour mixture. Beat on low speed just until incorporated. Gather the dough together with your hands and form it into a neat 9 to 10-inch log. Wrap in waxed paper. Fold or twist ends of paper without pinching or flatting the log. Chill at least 45 minutes, or until needed.
  • Place oven racks in the upper and lower third of the oven preheat to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice rounds of chilled dough a scant 1/4-inch thick. Place 1-inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake 12 to 14 minutes. Rotate baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back about halfway through. Cookies will puff and crackle on top, and then begin to settle down slightly when done. Use a metal spatula to transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Allow cookies to cool completely before storing or stacking. Store in an airtight container up to two weeks, or freeze up to 2 months.

Tips:

  • Use good-quality Mexican chocolate. This will give your cookies the best flavor. Look for chocolate that is made with real cocoa beans and spices, and avoid chocolate that contains artificial ingredients.
  • Toast the oats before using them. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more香脆.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them to develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

Mexican chocolate oatmeal cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like your cookies soft and chewy or crispy and crunchy, these cookies are sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these Mexican chocolate oatmeal cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
