Make these cookies!!!
These butterscotch cookies (recipe link below) are insanely yummy. The browned butter…the crunchy salt and sugar on the outside…the chewy middle…I’ve eaten four already. 🙁 Don’t try them right out of the oven; the flavors are better once the cookies have cooled. Also, making them is much easier if your almost-6-month-old takes a short but timely nap.
The recipe is here at Simply Recipes.
PS: Yeah, Greg, that’s your plate…I’ll try to remember to return it this weekend. 😉

Oh those look AWESOME!! Here is a great cookie recipe that we eat often. Make a couple of batches at a time as this doesn’t make that many and I personally can eat half a batch in a sitting.

ooops that’s the ice cream recipe here is the cookies!
Mexican Hot-Chocolate Cookies
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all purpose unbleached flour
1/4 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder (I used natural)
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt or use slightly less of regular Kosher salt (like Morton)
1 stick (4 oz) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (not in original)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or ground chile or chipotle powder
2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or hold off on this step if you intend to chill the dough.
Mix together flour, cocoa powder, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt; set aside.
Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on high for about 2 minutes. Add vanilla and egg and beat until combined. By hand, stir in the flour mixture gradually.
Combine the cinnamon, pepper and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar in a small bowl. Scoop up tablespoons of cookie dough (slightly heaping) and make 1 inch balls. Roll the balls (or just the tops) in the cinnamon sugar.
Space cookies about 3 inches apart on cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until they start to crack. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
Makes about 16 cookies.
Sarah, thanks! I’m on the lookout for cookie recipes that aren’t the same-old, Those look very good.
James will eat an entire batch by himself if I let him. They are REALLY good but our daughter came up with an idea that we think is just genius! Add marshmallows, in our case it would be homemade marshmallows.
