I created this recipe for a party celebrating National Chocolate Day. My version is not very hot (cayenne wise). If you want it hotter add more cayenne. These are a soft cakey cookie. Reduce the flour to make it act more like a traditional chocolate chip cookie.
Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 cup softened butter
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Additionally:
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
- Wet Mix: Beat sugar, butter, vanilla, and eggs till fluffy
- Dry Mix: Fork flour, cocoa powder, salt, spices, and raising agents together. Slowly and gently add to wet mix. Fold in chocolate chips
- In a separate bowl mix the Additional ingredients sugar & cinnamon together for coating
- Roll heaping tablespoons of dough into balls. Roll balls in the sugar-cinnamon mixture and place on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until centers are set and edges crack slightly, about 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes.
