Dark Chocolate Chipotle Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• PREHEAT oven to 325°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease.
• MELT 2/3 cup morsels in microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 30 seconds; STIR. Morsels may retain some of their original shape. Microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted. Set aside.
• SIFT flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt into medium bowl. Beat butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add melted chocolate and mix well. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture, mixing just until blended. Stir in remaining 1 cup morsels. Drop dough by level 1/4-cup measure 3 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets.
• BAKE for 16 to 18 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs and the tops have a cracked appearance. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, mix flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; set aside.
• In 2-quart saucepan, heat butter and 1 cup of the chocolate chips over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted. Remove from heat; stir in 1 cup of the sugar. Pour into large bowl. Beat in eggs with spoon one at a time until blended. Beat in vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until well blended. Stir in remaining chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Shape dough into 50 (1 1/4 -inch) balls. Lightly butter hands if dough is sticky when shaping into balls. In small bowl, place remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Roll balls in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets; flatten slightly. Discard sugar after rolling balls.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, at least 20 minutes. Store covered in airtight container.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil and coat lightly with cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, coconut oil and vanilla to combine. Add the egg (or water) and whisk well to incorporate. Add the banana and use the back of the fork to mash. When the banana is mashed into a paste, whisk the mixture until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as necessary to ensure everything is evenly combined.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the oats and chocolate chips. Sprinkle in the sifted matcha powder and fold in gently.
• Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out 1 1/2-inch balls and place them about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the edges are lightly golden brown and the cookie is set but still soft in the center, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

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:

• For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard cupcake or muffin pan with 12 cupcake liners.
• In medium bowl, whisk together with an electric mixer or hand whisk the flour mix, granulated sugar, cocoa, baking powder, chipotle powder, cinnamon, salt and xanthan gum until well integrated. Add in the soy milk, oil, espresso, vanilla and vinegar, and mix until smooth.
• Fill the cupcake liners three-quarters-full with batter. Place 1 chunk of chipotle chocolate into the center of each cupcake and bake until baked through, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool the cupcakes completely.
• For the buttercream: Whip the powdered sugar, cocoa, butter spread, soy milk and vanilla with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Put into a pastry bag and cut 1/2-inch off the tip.
• To assemble: Generously frost the top of each cupcake with the chocolate buttercream frosting.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla until combined. Add melted chocolate. Combine flour, wheat germ, baking powder, salt and chipotle pepper. Gradually add to egg mixture and mix well. Fold in chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours., Preheat oven to 350°. Place confectioners' sugar in a small bowl.

• In a separate large bowl, cream butter with sugars, honey and vanilla extract.
• Beat in eggs, one at a time.
• Slowly incorporate dry mixture into batter. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts (if using - see intro).
• Chill batter in refrigerator for approximately 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Roll into tablespoon-sized balls (I scoop dough with a cookie scoop, then roll into balls; it's easier) and coat with cinnamon sugar coating. Place on cookie sheets that are lined with parchment. Place unused raw batter back in refrigerator between batches.
• Bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the outer surface begins to crack. Cool cookies on a wire rack before storing in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
• Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, chile powder, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
• 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).
