Mexican Chocolate Cookies

Cooking is an activity I find immensely satisfying. Last night, I made some Mexican Chocolate Cookies using a recipe attributed to Maida Heatter. I found the recipe after a extensively searching and perusing recipes containing both chocolate and cayenne.

This recipe includes 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper and 3/4 cup of cocoa powder. The downside is having to freeze the dough for at least a day, but the trouble is more than worth it.

These cookies are excellent! If not the best I've found, very close. They have a chocolatey beginning and a wonderful spicy finish. Highly recommended!
