I admit, I'm a lapsed blogger. I haven't blogged in like a year. I'm not really sorry though. I've been a little busy. I got married and I've been experimenting with all kinds of new and exciting foods in loaf-form. You know, meatloaf, banana bread and stuff like that. Along with the occasional foray into cookie-baking, my real passion. So without further ado...
Tonight's experiment is for tomorrow's Comadres get-together. The assignment was something Spanish-American or something like that. I bent the rules a little since we weren't supposed to make dessert, but since I have to drive an hour and a half to get there and entree is sort of out of the question. So: Spicy Cinnamon Double Chocolate Cookies.
It's basically Betty Crocker's chocolate chip cookie recipe with a few additions. Say what you will about Toll House's cookie recipe, but Betty is a rock star. She's the queen bitch in my book and her chocolate chip cookies k.o. toll house any day. So that's my starting point. To the butter/sugar/egg/vanilla stage of mixing I added 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1/4 tsp of chili powder. Then to the flour I added 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa. This made the dough a little dry so next time I think I'll reduce the flour. On the cookie sheet I always press them a bit flat so they'll spread a little faster. It seems to help. Then I sprinkled them with a mixture of cinnamon and chili powder. Eddie likes them, and he hates spicy food so I guess that means they're not too spicy. We'll see how they go over tomorrow at Comadres.
