Chipotle chocolate sugar cookies are small, sweet, and crunchy with just a gentle hum of smoky chipotle spice. These delicious little cookies will leave you begging for more. And the best part – they’re very easy to make. Apart from some butter, they only require common cupboard ingredients, so you can enjoy whenever you feel like a treat. At Christmas, they are delicious with some frosting for a truly decadent result. Though, they really are sweet enough without.
The key to the crunchy cookie is cooking for just the right time and then cooling completely. It’s also important to keep the dough mixture cool before cooking. If you live in a warmer climate, refrigerate it for ten minutes before cooking to get the best overall result.
Our approach is to make these cookies more bite-sized than big. That nets out to around 24 cookies. If you like a bigger cookie, double the sizes in the recipe and cook for approximately four extra minutes.
There’s a nice smoky simmer to our chipotle chocolate sugar cookies, but if you can ramp things up for more heat. If extra spiciness is in order, double up the chipotle powder to two teaspoons or add a small amount of cayenne powder (maybe 1/4 teaspoon to start.)
