Time 50m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 2/3 cups powdered sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons unsweetened dark cocoa powder, divided
1 tablespoon cinnamon, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground ancho chili pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup toasted almond, finely chopped
1/3 cup dark chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter and 2/3 cup powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Beat in vanilla.
  • In a separate small mixing bowl, mix together flour, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, ancho chile pepper, and salt until well combined. Beat into butter/sugar mixture. Stir in almonds and chocolate until well combined and dough forms.
  • In a large shallow bowl, whisk together remaining 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon until combined. Set aside.

Bake cookies at 325 degrees F for about 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned on the bottom being careful not to overbake. Cookies will harden as they cool. Cool cookies about 1-2 minutes then roll in sugar mixture while still warm. Cool completely on wire rack then roll cookies in sugar mixture again.

These cookies are really easy to make, but they don't have a lot of flavor. I think I'll try adding some spices next time.

I had a hard time finding Mexican chocolate, so I used regular chocolate instead. The cookies still turned out great!

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I've made these cookies several times now, and they're always a favorite. They're so rich and chocolatey, with a hint of spice from the cinnamon. I love rolling them in powdered sugar before serving.
