Slightly spicy thanks to the addition of chili. If you prefer very spicy cookies, you can add more of it or omit it completely to prepare sweet chocolate cookies. They are an excellent base for chocolate cookies with various additions.
What can I replace chili with?
You can replace the chili powder with fresh chopped chili or chili flakes. If you don’t like spicy cookies, you can replace the chili with ginger, orange peel or gingerbread spice. You can also not add any spices then you will get traditional chocolate cookies.
What to make cookies with?
In addition to spices, you can also add nuts, candies, e.g. M&M’s, or pieces of milk or white chocolate to chocolate cookies. Such cookies can also be layered with cream, e.g. chocolate, vanilla or peanut butter.
How to bake cookies?
Bake the cookies at 180 °C (356°F) for approx. 8 minutes. The baked cookies will be soft, but will harden when they cool down. The cookies will spread on the baking tray while baking, so they need to be placed far apart.
Why didn’t the cookies spread?
If the cookies did not flatten and remained compact balls, the butter was probably too cold. Try to take the butter out of the fridge a few hours in advance to make sure it is soft, or heat it in the microwave for a few seconds. It is also a good idea to mix the cookie dough by hand to additionally heat the butter. The mass should be soft and sticky. If, despite this, the cookies do not spill, you may have added too much cocoa, try adding a flat spoon, not a heaped one. The “harder” and less malleable the dough is, the greater the probability that the cookies will not spread. If you want to get very flat cookies, you can also use melted butter. If the cookies don’t spread anyway, don’t worry. This does not affect their taste. They are still delicious 😀.
Cookies that can be prepared in advance?
Cookies stored in an airtight container stay fresh for several days. They do not need to be stored in the refrigerator. You can successfully prepare them a few days in advance.
