Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies
Get ready to indulge in some serious yumminess. These cookies are not just any cookies; they pack a punch with rich chocolate flavor and a whisper of cinnamon. Perfect for gatherings, or just because you deserve a little something sweet! Let me break it down for ya:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (for that extra kick!)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and chili powder. Give it a good whisk to mix all those dry ingredients together.
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until nice and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Don’t overdo it, y’all; it’s okay if there are a few lumps. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. You want the edges to be set, but the centers should still be soft. Let them cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
