Spicy Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies

 Okay I am introducing a cookie here that I never thought I would make. A spicy cookie! Who would have thought. I thought it sounded interesting and it does have chocolate with it. How bad could it be? Now not everyone is going to like this cookie. Some people do not like spicy things. It’s not real spicy. It is a wonderful rich chocolate cookie and then after you take a couple of bites you feel the heat. It comes in on the back end. Give it a try.


Look at that rich chocolate. Here cookies are worth a try.


Except for the cinnamon and cayenne pepper this could be a regular chocolate cookie.

Start with 2 sticks softened butter.


Add 1 1/2 cups sugar. You will need a little more sugar later.


Add 1 teaspoon vanilla. And mix everything well. 


The softer your butter the easier the butter and sugar mix.


2 teaspoons cream of tartar. This gives the cookies a light and airy consistency.

1 teaspoon baking soda.


1/2 teaspoon sea salt.


1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. You will need some more later.


1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper.

1/2 cup cocoa. Now mix all this together. I like adding my baking soda, salt and other things before I add the flour it tends to get mixed better. Be careful with the cocoa.

Add 2 eggs.


All mixed up. Smells good.


Gradually add 2 1/4 cups plain flour.


Add 1 cup semis sweet chocolate chips.


In a separate bowl add 1/4 cup sugar.


1/2 teaspoon cinnamon


Mix well.


Take you cookie and roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.


Place in parchment lined cookie sheet. Place in a 375 preheated oven. Bake for 10 minutes. 


These will go in the freezer.mi did not roll in the cinnamon sugar before putting in the freezer. I will roll before they go in the oven.

Now enjoy these cookies. My husband when he bit into one said I don’t taste the heat. Then he did.
