Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, (softened to room temperature)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon semisweet chocolate chips

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and cayenne. Mix until smooth.
  • Add the egg and mix until it’s fully incorporated.
  • Now fold in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and chocolate chips. Mix only until you no longer see dry spots.
  • Use a 1-inch cookie scoop or about ½ tablespoon to shape the cookies, adding them to the parchment-lined baking sheets as you go. There should be a couple of inches between them, as they will spread a little.
  • Bake in the 375°F preheated oven just until they’re solid, about 10 minutes.
  • Let them cool on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes before serving.
