You probably have these ingredients in your pantry already!
Ingredients:
¾ c. butter
¾ c. sugar
1 ½ c. all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. finely ground black pepper
¼ tsp. ground allspice
The dough will be crumbly and a little dry. This is normal! It will come together in the next step.
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
¾ c. cocoa powder
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 ½ tsp. vanilla extract
Semi-sweet chocolate morsels
Instructions:
Roll the cookies into little balls. Fortunately, they won’t spread a lot so you can fit more onto one cookie sheet.
Cream the butter and sugar together.
Sift the flour, baking powder, spices and cocoa and add to the butter mixture.
Add egg and vanilla and mix.
Lay out a piece of plastic wrap and spoon the dough, which will be crumbly, onto the plastic. With the help of the plastic wrap, gather the dough together, pressing it into a log. Wrap the log in the plastic to keep it together and chill the dough log for one hour.
Form the dough into balls about the size of a ping pong ball, tucking 4-5 chocolate morsels into each as you mold it.
Bake 8 minutes at 350 degrees.
