Spicy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Add a Mexican-inspired twist to your chocolate chip cookies with a bit of cinnamon and cayenne!
Servings: 45 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 sticks butter, softened*
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1-1½ tsp. salt
- 2¼ cup flour*
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼-½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips*
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugars. Add eggs. Add vanilla and salt. Mix very well until very light and fluffy.
- Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon and cayenne. Mix very well.
- Add chocolate chips and mix again.
- Place balls of dough by tablespoonfuls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Do not overbake.
Notes
- Do not use melted butter.
- For high altitude, add 1 tbsp. flour (or measure the flour with a heavy hand)
- I can only imagine that using 1/4 tsp. cayenne and using chopped spicy gourmet chocolate for a portion of the chocolate chips would be fantastic.
