SPICY MEXICAN COOKIES (CHOCOLATE)



Spicy Mexican Cookies (Chocolate) image

If you're looking for a chocolate cookie with a real kick, look no further. These cookies are a perfect marriage of chocolate and spicy. They are firm, but chewy-melt-in-your-mouth. For comparison, I lean toward "medium" heat when it comes to salsa. This recipe is adapted from an excellent food blog called Baking Bites.

Time 50m

Yield 4 dozen, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 egg

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa, cinnamon, cayenne, salt and pepper.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until light and fluffy.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients until they are fully blended into the dough and no traces of the flour mix remain.
  • Divide the dough in two and roll each half into a log that's 9 inches long. Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap and place in the freezer overnight or a minimum eight hours (if you're not interested in baking the whole batch at once, the dough will keep up to six weeks in the freezer).
  • Having been frozen, the dough will require a small amount of effort to cut through. With a sharp knife, cut 1/3" cookies from the dough. Bake at 375° F for 8-10 minutes or until edges are firm. Allow cookies to cool 30 seconds to a minute then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Tips:

  • Use unsweetened cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • If you don't have any cayenne pepper, you can substitute chili powder or paprika.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, or the cookies will be tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking, or the cookies will spread too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set, or they will be dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them, or they will be sticky.

Conclusion:

These spicy Mexican chocolate cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are easy to make and absolutely delicious. With their rich chocolate flavor and subtle kick of spice, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and spicy treat, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
