Mexican Hot Chocolate Snickerdoodles (Vegan) image

These yummy chocolate cookies are a little different in that they are spiced up with a little cayenne pepper and cinnamon. Quite a nice match actually. :) They are originally from the book Vegan Cookies Invade your Cookie Jar by Isa Chandra Moskowith and Terry Hope Romero. I hope you and your vegan friends are going to enjoy them as much as we did.

Time 22m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup oil (canola is specified in the book, but any neutral oil will do)
1 cup sugar (I used unrefined cane sugar)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons non-dairy milk (I used vanilla oat milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon chocolate extract (I used more vanilla as I could not find it)
1 2/3 cups flour (I used spelt flour)
1/2 cup unsweetend cocoa powder (I think carob powder would work well, too)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or try chili powder)

Steps:

  • Mix the topping ingredients on a large dinner plate. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine oil, sugar, syrup and milk using a fork. You have to stir quite vigorously to get them all combined nicely.
  • Add the extracts.
  • In a second bowl combine the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and spices). Add them to the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Mix until you have a pliable dough. If it is too wet add a tad more flour, if its too dry add a tad more milk.
  • Roll the dough into balls the size of a walnut. Roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and place them on a paper-lined baking sheet. Use your palm to flatten them into about 2 inch disks. In the book it says to leave at least 2 inches space between the cookies as they will spread, however mine did not spread very much.
  • Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C/350°F for 10-12 minutes. Cookies should crackle on top.
  • Remove from the oven, let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire-rack to cool completely.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 c sugar
1 c butter or margarine, softened
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/4 c cocoa, unsweetened
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon, ground
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp salt
SUGAR COATING
2 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or leave ungreased.
  • 2. In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter together.
  • 3. Stir in eggs and vanilla.
  • 4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon, cayenne, and salt. Blend well.
  • 5. Slowly stir flour mixture into the bowl with butter mixture. Combine well.
  • 6. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon mixture.
  • 7. Form dough into 1 inch balls, roll in sugar/cinnamon mixture to coat. Place on prepared cookie sheet.
  • 8. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  • 9. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute before removing to a cooling rack.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies, so don't skimp on the chocolate chips or the cocoa powder.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before eating. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

Mexican chocolate snickerdoodles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a holiday party. With their rich chocolate flavor and chewy texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
