Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp Spiceology Smoky Honey Habanero
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp milk
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Flakey salt, optional

Directions

  1. Whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, Spiceology Smoky Honey Habanero, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined, and then mix together the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. The dough will be thick and sticky.
  4. Fold the chocolate chips into the cookie dough until just combined, then cover and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
  5. Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
  6. Portion out the cookie dough into 16 cookies by using heaping 1 tablespoon per cookie. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges appear set but the middle is still soft.
  7. Sprinkle them with flaky sea salt (if desired) and let them cool for 5 minutes to firm up before serving.
