MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE SNICKERDOODLES (VEGAN)
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.

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.

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.
