Everything's nice about Mexican hot chocolate, which is why we dreamed up a cookie that showcases its signature qualities: deep cocoa flavor, a melt-in-your-mouth texture, and the assertive kick of cayenne pepper and cinnamon. Bake a batch or two, and wow a crowd -- or just your coworkers -- on Cinco de Mayo.

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk together flour, cocoa, cinnamon, salt, cayenne, and baking soda.
In a separate bowl, beat butter with brown sugar on medium-highspeed until light and fluffy, about3 minutes. Beat in egg and vanillauntil well combined. Reduce speedto low and beat in flour mixture untiljust incorporated. Stir in chocolate.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls(each 1 heaping tablespoon).Gently roll each in turbinado sugarto coat; place 2 inches aparton parchment-lined baking sheets.Bake until surfaces crack slightly,11 to 14 minutes. Let cool 5 minuteson sheets, then transfer to awire rack and let cool completely.
