Mexican Chocolate Freezer Cookies Recipes

MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, chili powder, cinnamon and salt. Mix together to combine.
• In the large bowl of a stand mixer, add the softened butter and beat with the paddle attachment on low speed until smooth, about 1 minute. (A hand mixer can also be used.)
• Add the granulated and dark brown sugar and beat on medium-high speed until well combined.
• Add the egg, vanilla extract and milk and beat until well combined. You may have to stop the mixer once or twice to scrape down the sides and bottom. That's okay.
• Working on low speed, add in the dry ingredients slowly until combined. The cookie dough will be thick and sticky. Add in the chocolate chips. Once the chocolate chips are mostly combined with the dough, transfer the dough onto two sheets of plastic wrap. Form the dough into a ball (making sure to poke in chocolate chips that aren't staying) and cover. Chill in the fridge for an hour or in the freezer for 20 minutes.
• Remove the cookie dough from the fridge and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two large baking trays with parchment paper. Roll dough into 16 balls and place on baking trays.
• Bake cookies for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with 3 or 4 mini marshmallows each.
• Place cookies under broiler and broil on high for 30 seconds or until the tops of the marshmallows begin to brown.
• Remove from oven and top with a few more chocolate chips and sea salt if desired. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes. They'll spread out a little more and deflate in the process. All that's left to do is eat!

CHOCOLATE FREEZER COOKIES

Steps:

• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
• Beat sugar and shortening together using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl. Add eggs 1 at a time while continuing to beat until combined. Beat in vanilla extract followed by cocoa; beat in chocolate chips. Beat in flour mixture and milk, alternating, until combined. Chill dough in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Roll cookie dough as thin as chocolate chips will allow. Cut out cookies using a biscuit cutter and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, 15 to 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the freezer.
