Mexican Spicy Chocolate Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups white sugar, divided
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1
Begin by setting your oven to the desired temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently 190 degrees Celsius. Next, prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 and a half cups of sugar with softened butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Utilize an electric mixer to blend the ingredients until they achieve a light and airy consistency.
3
Then, incorporate eggs one at a time into the mixture, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Also, add cream of tartar and baking soda to the mixture.
4
Add cocoa powder, a pinch of cinnamon, and cayenne pepper to the dough. Finally, incorporate flour into the mixture.
5
In a separate bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of sugar and an additional half teaspoon of cinnamon. Stir in chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
6
Using a small amount, roll heaping spoonfuls of dough into balls. Then, coat each ball with the sugar-cinnamon mixture before placing them two inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
7
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake until the centers are set, with edges slightly cracked. This should take approximately 10 minutes.
8
Remove the baked goods from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Finally, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
