Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the cookie dough.
  7. Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
