There was lots of flavor despite the light feel, very satisfying and filling, yet hard to stop eating several pieces in rapid succession. chop up 1-4 whole dried cayenne or other small red peppers very finely (remember to remove the seeds) and pop them in! It should add a really special and spicy note to the cookies that doesn't have to be overpowering.We crunched in to find a nice soft crunch and crumbly feel, with a taste that was pretty much what was promised, with a good helping of cinnamon and also lots of chocolate.

add in a touch of extra cinnamon if you so desire 3. For those of you who have never tried it, it is very grainy and sweet, filled with lots of cinnamon and spice) 2. Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl stir into the butter mixture until well blended. Beat sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl until light and fluffy. probably in food specialty stores, if not in your average super dooper market. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Taste test: These chips looked kind of like the Turtle News chips and the Cinnamon version, at least shapewise, but there was far more brown seasoning than even the cinnamon ones, so the wiggly, layered, oddly shaped pieces looked quite different. replace the chocolate chips with more or less the same amount of roughly chopped mexican chocolate, either bitter or semi-sweet (note: I'm not actually sure where you can find this. I would like to share my own little take on these, which is perfect for anyone looking for the only possible way (in my humble opinion, anyhow) to improve upon these delights: 1. Next time I will incorporate white chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips to really give a variety of chocolate flavors. Also, I used 1/2 semisweet chips and 1/2 milk chocolate chips. Try cooling the batter in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes then re-beating before adding in the flour mixture, and proceed as normal. If you nuke the butter in the microwave or bake on a hot day where your butter has melted to or almost to liquid form, the cookies will be thinner. If you use slightly softened butter and beat the sugar/egg/butter mixture really well, the batter holds up and you get chewy, slightly flattened cookie but still holds it's shape very well. How flat your cookies are relates to how runny and sticky the batter is. Other users complained of flat cookies so they integrated shortening.I didn't do this and my cookies came out great. Very yummy! I did make a few changes - I used all brown sugar instead of white (brown sugar will make for a moister cookie while white sugar makes the cookie crunchier) and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. I made 40 cookies at about 2 1/2 inches across. And in the term of getting perfect texture in an eggless cake, this recipe always wins. I keep experimenting with eggless cakes, as you can see many eagles cake/muffin recipes on my blog. THEN, using a hand mixer, continue to blend the ingredients until you don't see a speck of dry material! At this point add the chips and nuts by hand. Cakes without icing and fancy ingredients appeal to me more. Mix the wet and dry ingredients with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are just mixed in. Mix(by hand, not mixer) the dry ingredients before adding to the wet ingredients. Several tips for cookie novices (I learned from previous reviewers): Mix the butter & shortening until fluffy, then add the eggs and vanilla and beat with a mixer until blended to death! When you think it's ready, do an extra minute. The dough was not sticky at all and it held together well without spreading (I didn't even refrigerate the batter between batches!). In addition I used aluminum foil to line the pans and that eliminated any sticking. Long review alert! Yes, even after 1000+ reviews, I am going to leave one! Deep chocolate flavor, pleasantly (but not overly) sweet, soft texture but not too gooey, perfect height(not flat) and just downright irresistible! I read through 100's of reviews and made the following tweaks to this recipe: 1/2 cup butter & 1/2 cup solid shortening instead of 1 c butter, 3/4 c white sugar & 3/4 c dark brown sugar instead of 1 1/2 c white sugar, 1 T vanilla instead of 2 t vanilla, used dutch processed cocoa, 1 t baking soda instead of 3/4 t, and added 1 t baking powder and 1 t instant coffee.
