Best 6 Mexican Coconut Hot Chocolate Cookies Recipes

MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, chili powder, cinnamon and salt. Mix together to combine.
• In the large bowl of a stand mixer, add the softened butter and beat with the paddle attachment on low speed until smooth, about 1 minute. (A hand mixer can also be used.)
• Add the granulated and dark brown sugar and beat on medium-high speed until well combined.
• Add the egg, vanilla extract and milk and beat until well combined. You may have to stop the mixer once or twice to scrape down the sides and bottom. That's okay.
• Working on low speed, add in the dry ingredients slowly until combined. The cookie dough will be thick and sticky. Add in the chocolate chips. Once the chocolate chips are mostly combined with the dough, transfer the dough onto two sheets of plastic wrap. Form the dough into a ball (making sure to poke in chocolate chips that aren't staying) and cover. Chill in the fridge for an hour or in the freezer for 20 minutes.
• Remove the cookie dough from the fridge and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two large baking trays with parchment paper. Roll dough into 16 balls and place on baking trays.
• Bake cookies for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with 3 or 4 mini marshmallows each.
• Place cookies under broiler and broil on high for 30 seconds or until the tops of the marshmallows begin to brown.
• Remove from oven and top with a few more chocolate chips and sea salt if desired. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes. They'll spread out a little more and deflate in the process. All that's left to do is eat!

MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk the almond flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and cayenne together in a large bowl.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup of chocolate chips with 1/4 cup of the coconut oil. Microwave on 50 percent power for 1 minute. Stir the chocolate and then microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir again; if it's not completely melted, repeat the same process in 30-second intervals until the mixture is smooth.
• Stir the maple syrup and vanilla into the melted chocolate. It will thicken up a little. Pour immediately into the almond flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until combined.
• Roll the dough into balls, using about 1 tablespoon of dough for each. Place the balls on 2 of the baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Smash the balls flat with the bottom of a measuring cup until each is about 2 inches in diameter. Bake until the center of the cookies starts to crack, 8 to 10 minutes; the cookies will harden as they cool down. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
• While cookies are baking and cooling, combine the remaining 1 cup chocolate chips with the remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a clean microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50 percent power for 1 minute. Stir the chocolate and then microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir again. If it's not completely melted, repeat the same process in 30-second intervals until the mixture is smooth.
• Once the cookies have cooled, dip half of each cookie in the melted chocolate and place on another parchment-lined baking sheet. Let the chocolate harden, and enjoy.

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.
