Stir the chocolate until smooth, then add the butter, whisking together until fully melted and combined. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
-
Whisk Wet Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Once well-combined, add the cooled chocolate and butter mixture to the bowl, and whisk again to fully integrate.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the red chilli powder, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
-
Incorporate Ingredients
- Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until no streaks of flour remain. Add in the chocolate chips and chopped chocolate chunks, mixing just enough to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
-
Chill the Dough
- Spoon a tablespoon of dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spacing each cookie about 1 inch apart to allow for spreading. Place the tray in the refrigerator and chill for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
-
Bake the Cookies
- Once the dough has chilled, place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the centers are just set. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool, so avoid over-baking for the best texture.
-
Cool and Store
- Remove the tray from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, store the Chilli Chocolate Cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
Serving Suggestions
These Chilli Chocolate Cookies are best enjoyed with a glass of milk or as an accompaniment to your favorite hot drink. The subtle spice from the chilli adds a surprising warmth to the rich chocolate, making each bite a delightful experience. Perfect for a cozy snack, a tea-time treat, or as a unique addition to a dessert platter.
Tips and Variations
- Adjust Spice Level: If you prefer a milder kick, reduce the amount of chilli powder to ½ teaspoon or use a milder chilli variety. For a bolder experience, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Add Nuts: For a delightful crunch, mix in ½ cup of chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans along with the chocolate chips and chunks.
- Make it Extra Gooey: Add an extra ¼ cup of chocolate chips or chunks for an even richer, gooey center.
Enjoy the perfect balance of rich chocolate and a hint of spice with every bite!
