Ancho Chili Pepper Chocolate Crackled Cookies, Fast, Easy….and Yummy!!
The secret ingredient for these cookies is the Ancho Chili Pepper. Actually, it is a great combination with the chocolate, giving the cookies a slight bite… So, when my neighbor sent them to me I thought today was the perfect evening to try them.
ANCHO CHILI PEPPER CHOCOLATE CRACKLED COOKIES
12 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate, divided
3/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon Ancho Chili Pepper
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 or 1/2 stick butter softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla
Melt 8 ounces of the chocolate as directed on the package. I did it on the microwave.
Coarsely chop the remaining 4 ounces of chocolate. To tell you the truth, I ran out of the chocolate so I threw 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate morsels.
Mix flour, cinnamon, ancho chili pepper, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
Beat butter and sugars in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed. Add eggs and vanilla, mix well.
Add melted chocolate, beat until well blended.
Gradually beat in flour mixture on low speed until well mixed.
Stir in chopped chocolate.
Drop by rounded tablespoon 1 1/2 inches apart on parchment paper lined baking sheets.
Bake in a pre-heated 375 degree oven for a bout 10 minutes or just until cookies are set and slightly cracked on top.
Transfer cookies to a wire rack or plate to cool completely.
Enjoy!!
