Chocolate Chili Cookies


Chocolate Chili Cookies

Butter & Icing Sugar
Beat cold butter, icing sugar and salt until salt dissolves.
Sifted Dry Ingredients
Next add vanilla essence and sifted dry ingredients (cocoa powder, rice flour, plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, chili powder) and beat until combine.

Adjust the level of spiciness by adding or reducing the chili powder quantity.
Dough
Place dough in a bowl, cover with cling wrap and chill for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, roll dough into ball about 1.5cm diameter.
Dusk Fork With Flour
Dust fork with flour so that the dough will not stick with the fork.

Flatten Ball With Fork
Flatten ball with fork (apply light pressure to it).

Chocolate Chili Cookies (unbake)

Bake at 175oC for 10 minutes. Tsk this is the best shape for the cookie I’ve come up with coz the dough’s texture is sort of like icing. If you make intricate shape it will melt during baking. Also make sure to store these cookies in air-tight container.
