Ask the hotline about this step!This looks like my type of cookie. I made Chipotle Brownies for a Pot Luck I went to 12 years ago (it was filmed for The Food Network - "Eat the Heat" was the name of the show). I love the combination of chocolate and chile. I will make these.
these are pretty terrific. not sure how you ended up with only 20 cookies, I got over 5 dozen. there's a small bite at the back of the throat but no real fire, and I'm a wimp when it comes to spicy. I had edit spices as I ran out of cinnamon (who ever runs out of cinnamon?!?) after 3/4 t and made up difference with 1/4 t cardamom. yum! sent these to the office with the husband and they raved about them - will make these again.
Just tried this recipe and it looks as though you might have transcribed it wrong (compared to the one on your website).
The resulting cookies had good flavor but were cakey, not chewy, and didn't look like your picture. But when I went to your website, I read that you actually used 3/4 cup of butter instead of 1/2 cup, and 1 cup of flour (not 1 1/3) and also significantly less cocoa powder (1/8 cup). So, if the pictures above were taken of the recipe on your website, it's no wonder that they had a nicer spread.
I'm thinking of adding chili and cinnamon to another recipe on this site: http://www.food52.com/recipes/1172_double_chocolate_espresso_cookies
can i preface this with a thank you sooooo much for your comments?!?!?! and add to that a note about me: I love cooking, and throwing things together and being a science teacher i love experimenting! these tendencies work well with everything but baking ... which is something i have yet to master! I love the idea of these cookies ... and the cooker in me is never very good at measuring things ... so sometimes these cookes work ... and sometimes they don't?!?!? I will say that I tried a new version today with lovley results (almost like the ones pictured above ... tho i will say im not quite sure how those got that way) I'm going to try and edit the above recipe to reflect my new findings but please experiment and let me know what you find! :D
hmmmmm ok so i can't seem to edit it. here goes a renewed attempt at these babies!
* 2 cups flour
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 2 sticks butter, softened
* 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 2 large eggs, beaten
* 1 tablespoon vanilla
* 1 cup unsweetened cocoa
* 1 tsp cayanne powder
* 1 tsp cinnamon
* 1 cups chocolate chips
* 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
follow the steps in the recipe with the ingredients above this comment ... get your bake on and let me know how it turns out :D
I just whipped up a batch of these and they were so easy to make and quite delicious. But your cookies look really flat, so I was assuming they would spread out a bit as they cooked. Mine did not spread much at all. Did you flatten yours before baking?
hey solmstea, glad u liked them ... i find them dangerously addictive! Baking is a new sport for me and in making the perfect chewey cookies I have had to do some experimenting ... i didn't flatten mine but I think the pic above was taken when i used batter that wasn't chilled so that they melted quickly ... on my blog there are some comments about making good cookies ... let me know how the next batch turns out! http://comidaycultura.wordpress.com/2009/06/11/chocolate-and-chili-oh-my/
Yeah, I didn't chill mine either. Maybe my chocolate chips were bigger than yours. In any case, I will make them again regardless.
These cookies are incredible. I am a cookie monster and am always trying to invent new combinations. The spice in these is just right with the chocolate-I'm obsessed! When I finished my first one I couldn't stop thinking about a scene in the movie Chocolat when two characters are drinking hot cocoa with chili powder! If you haven't seen the movie, it's mouth-watering!!
oh i love that movie, it was definately an inspiration! would love to hear about any changes/additions you ever made to the recipe ... or what you love to eat them with :D
thank you sooo much helen!!! will update the recipe tomorrow :D gonna do a couple last minute re-touches and try and take a better picture :D

I would definitely use parchment paper on the cookie sheet.
