Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and creamy.
Add the chipotle powder and cocoa powder to the mixture and combine thoroughly.
Mix the baking soda and flour into the mixture until combined.
Grease a baking sheet. Roll the dough into small balls, place them on the sheet and pat them down to flatten them a little.
Bake in the center of the oven for 12 minutes.
Place the cookies onto a wire rack to cool completely before enjoying.

If your kitchen is warm, chill the dough for about 10 minutes before rolling it into balls.

This makes about 24 small cookies. For bigger ones, make the balls twice the size and bake them for about 4 minutes longer.

For more heat, use 2 teaspoons of chipotle powder, or add about 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne.

Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before you store them in an airtight container.
