Well I made these because my hubby really like the flavors of Mexican hot chocolate. That is chocolate, cinnamon and chili. These cookies are FANTASTIC! Moist, chewy, intensely chocolately with a kick from the chili. Happy Husband, happy life? Is that the way it goes?
The recipe is slightly modified from the McCormicks spices website.
Ingredients:
12 oz semi sweet chocolate divided
3/4 cup AP flour
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp Ancho Chile powder (I didn't have this so I substituted an Indian chili powder I had on hand)
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 stick butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs lightly beaten
2 tsp vanilla extract
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Melt 8 ounces of the chocolate as directed on package. Set aside.
2. Coarsely chop remaining 4 ounces chocolate and set aside. Mix flour, roasted cinnamon, ancho chile pepper, baking powder and salt in small bowl.
3. Beat butter and sugars in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Add melted chocolate; beat until well blended. Gradually beat in flour mixture on low speed until well mixed. Stir in chopped chocolate.
4. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons or medium cookie scoop 1 1/2 inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
5. Bake about 10 minutes or just until cookies are set and slightly cracked on top. Transfer cookies on parchment paper to wire rack; cool completely.
Stand back and wait for much love and adoration from afore mentioned spouse.
