Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 0.75 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing thoroughly until a smooth dough forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still appear slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy these rich, spicy, and chocolatey treats!
