Velvety Mexican Chocolate Cookies With Dark Chocolate Glaze
- 1 3/4 cups of all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 sticks of melted butter, cooled to luke warm or room temperature
- 1 egg + 1 yolk
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- For Chocolate Glaze:
- 4 oz bittersweet chocolate
- 4 T butter
- 2 T light corn syrup
- Preheat oven to 325. Melt butter and allow to cool to about room temperature.
- Meanwhile, whisk together flour, cocoa, salt, baking soda, cayenne and cinnamon.
- In electric mixer, combine melted butter and sugars. Beat until well incorporated. Add egg and vanilla and mix thoroughly.
- On low speed, slowly add dry ingredients. With small ice cream scoop, scoop 2T dough each on ungreased cookie sheets. Covering the baking sheets with parchment paper yields the best results.
- Bake for 15 mins or until cookies appear dry and cracked on top.
- Make the glaze:
- In a double boiler, combine chocolate, butter, and corn syrup. Over low to medium heat, stir until completely melted and combined.
- While glaze is still very liquid, drizzle over cookies with a small metal spoon. If glaze begins to harden, simply microwave it on low heat for a minute or two.
