ANCHO CHILE-MEXICAN CHOCOLATE COOKIES RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, ancho chili powder, baking soda, and fine salt. In a large bowl, beat unsalted butter on medium-high speed 1 minute or until light and creamy. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar; beat 2 minutes or until slightly fluffy, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add egg and vanilla extract; beat until well combined. Add half the flour mixture; meat on medium-low speed until just combined. Add remaining flour mixture; beat 2 minutes or just until mixture comes together (do not over mix). Add chocolate chunks and pepitas; beat on low until just combined. Use a 2 ounce ice cream scoop of 1/4 cup dry measuring cup to portion dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2" between each cookie. Bake 15 minutes or until edges are crisp but centers are still soft, rotating backing sheets top to bottom and front to back halfway through baking time. Let cookies cool completely on baking sheets before removing to a rack. Store up to 5 days in an airtight container.

CHOCOLATE CHILE BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar and chile powder on medium-low speed until smooth and well combined, about 2 minutes.
• Increase the speed to medium. With the mixer running, add the eggs, 1 at a time, pausing to scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed, then add the vanilla extract. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute.
• Turn the speed to low and, with the mixer running, add the flour mixture a little at a time. Continue mixing until the dry ingredients are almost incorporated, scraping the bowl as needed, then add the cashews and chocolate chips all at once. Keep mixing until the cashews and chocolate have integrated and a thick dough has formed.
• Divide the dough in half and roll each half into a 12-inch log. (You can use a sheet of wax or parchment paper to help roll the dough evenly, or dust with extra flour if the dough is sticky.) Place both logs on a half-sheet pan lined with parchment paper, then flatten both logs with your palms until about 1-inch thick. Sprinkle each with a little granulated sugar to evenly coat.
• Bake until the logs lose their sheen, 20 to 25 minutes. There should still be some softness in the middle of each log when gently pressed. Be careful not to overbake, as the logs may break when sliced later.
• Turn off the oven, take out the biscotti and let cool on the sheet pan for a few hours. (The longer they rest, the easier they will be to slice without breaking.)
• For the second bake, heat the oven to 300 degrees. (The temperature is lower for gentler, more even baking.)
• Using a serrated knife, slice each log at an angle into ½-inch slices. You may trim and discard the ends or bake them along with the other slices - they taste just as good. Place the slices, cut sides down, on the same parchment-lined half-sheet pan. (You don't need to be careful about spacing them out.)
• Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the biscotti are no longer soft to the touch. They will harden a little further after cooling. Remove from the oven and cool completely on the pan. The biscotti will keep for 2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature.
