Recipe: Chili Chocolate Cookies

Have you ever heard of hot chocolate cookies or Mexican chocolate cookies? Well, these chili chocolate cookies are similar to those, yet way better in my opinion. They bring together the heat of chili with the richness of dark chocolate. You need to use at least 70% dark chocolate, otherwise the balance is off. Okay, let’s get baking!

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups gluten free flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of both cinnamon and chili powder
• 3/4 cup coco mix
• 1/3 cup butter
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/3 cup dark chocolate

First, gather all of your ingredients. Mix together the first 5 ingredients. Sift them well. Then, melt the butter and coconut oil. Mix well and add in the coco, vanilla and the egg. Then, add in the sugar to the butter mixture. Lastly, mix the dry into the wet. Stir well until all combined and mix in the chocolate shavings last.

Roll into a log and cover with plastic. Set in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Once your dough as set, slice into 1/4 inch pieces and bake for 15-18 minutes at 350 degrees.

Dust the finished cookies with powered sugar or coco power – or both!

Done! Time to eat up.

I find these cookies so addictive – they offer a nice richness of flavour without being overly sweet. Be careful though, that dark chocolate is rich!

Thanks for visiting and happy baking.
