Chocolate Cinnamon Chipotle Cookies Recipes

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIPOTLE COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla and chipotle pepper. Combine flour, cocoa, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and cayenne; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chopped candy. Chill until easy to handle, about 1 hour., Preheat oven to 350°. Roll into 1-1/2-in. balls; place 4 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until set, 10-12 minutes. Cool 4 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

DARK CHOCOLATE CHIPOTLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, add butter and beat with the paddle attachment until smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl as necessary to evenly cream it. Add the sugars, sifted cocoa powder and chipotle peppers and mix again at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add eggs, vanilla and water. Beat at medium speed until combined, about 30 seconds. Add slightly cooled melted chocolate and mix again, scraping bowl to evenly mix everything.
• Add the flour mixture, scraping sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. When well incorporated, add the chips and mix briefly, about 5 seconds.
• Refrigerate the dough in the bowl until cool and fudge-like, but not solid, for approximately 1 hour. You can use an ice cream scoop to create large, even sized cookies. These cookie-dough balls can also be frozen at this point, and baked right from the freezer whenever the need arises.
• When ready to bake, press the tops of the cookie dough-balls into the sugar, and then top with 2 to 3 pieces of dark chocolate chips. Place onto parchment-lined baking sheets, allowing space for the cookies to spread. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven when they are still a little underdone. Slide the parchment paper with the cookies onto a cooling rack and allow to cool before removing from parchment

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.

• Beat together butter and sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy. At low speed, mix in flour mixture until well blended. Divide dough in half and pat out into 2 (7-inch) rounds (1/4 inch thick). Arrange rounds 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Cut each round into 8 wedges (do not separate wedges). Prick all over with a fork.
• Bake until dry to the touch, 16 to 18 minutes. Recut shortbread while hot, then cool on sheet (shortbread will crisp as it cools).

Freeze for 15 min. -Repeat with the remaining dough. -Bake one sheet at a time for 10 - 12 min, turning halfway through, until dry and just set. Cool on sheet on rack 5 min, just the cookies on rack. For the filler icing: Combine 3.5 cups confectioners' sugar & the cream of tartar in bowl; beat on low to get rid of lumps, then add the egg whites & lemon juice, beating until completely smooth. Should have the texture of a thick, shiny glaze. If too thick, beat in an extra egg white; if too thin, add some confectioners' sugar, a tbsp at a time. -Pipe the icing around the edge of each cookie; let dry for 15 min. -Use the remaining icing in the piping bag (no tip) to fill in each cookie. Be sparing; use the back of a spoon or a brush to help evenly distribute the icing. Let the icing dry for 8 h or overnight. -For the royal icing: Combine the confectioners' sugar, egg whites & 1 tsp of the lemon juice; beat on low-med speed for 3-5 min, until completely smooth. Icing should create a peak that falls over a bit when beater is lifter; slightly thicker than the filler icing. If not, add egg white &/or lemon juice 1/2 tsp at a time to thin, or 1 tsp confectioners sugar. Tint and decorate.
