Chilli chocolate cookies

Brilliant ! Made these a few times and will definetely make again. Since some comments said it was a bit too spicy I replaced the dark chilli chocolate with regular and put the recommended amount of cayenne pepper. On the second time I also added 1tsp of ground ginger which I think worked very well.

Made this recipe this week for a work Mexican themed party - as sort of fitted the theme with the chilli! Halved the recipe to make 20 cookies and so halved the cayenne quantity and they certainly have a kick but in just the right way. Very easy to make. Did take about 10 mins extra cooking time but perhaps that's my oven. Hard to tell when they're cooked as with them being dark from the choc the colour doesn't really change. I just waited for them to feel firm enough. Easy to take off the trays and didn't crumble or break. Getting nice comments from colleagues.

* Antioxidants in chocolate are useful for the fight against cancer. Cacao includes thrice times more antioxidant in comparison to green tea and twice time more in comparison to red wine. * Chocolate is also a rich source for calcium. This provides strong bone structure. * Chocolate has very positive psychological effects particularly on women, from the past till today. Chocolate releases endorphin hormone that makes women feel good. http://www.weightlosseasy.tips/health-benefits-of-chocolate.html * Experts in Harvard Medical Academy suggest findings showing that cacao decreases high blood sugar. * Chocolate is also rich in terms of florid that would help the formation of strong teeth, and it also has potassium that is very useful in the fight against stress. * Peter Barham, one of the doctors of Bristol University, advocates that there is a stimulant substance in chocolate and this makes the person feel good. * Chocolate has a great amount of copper. Copper helps iron be absorbed in the body. And this is good for the skin, veins and tissues. As it is rich in terms of copper, it is also very good for hair health.

I loved these with the full amount of cayenne. They were delicious and warming and satisfying and just what I needed on a miserable winter's day. I also added more chocolate and in bigger chunks than the recipe suggested.

Also forgot to mention that I made these with Doves Farm gluten free flour and 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum and the consistency was perfect!

I LOVE spicy food but these were too much! I put less cayenne pepper than the recipe suggested and this was still too much. I am going to make them again today as the cookies were yummy, but without any chilli! If I make chilli ones again i will use chilli chocolate but not add spice to the cookie dough as it made them taste like curry cookies! But still giving a good star rating as delicious otherwise!

Really nice, family likes them nut can be quite hot!!! serve with ice cream or cream

Absolutely delicious! Have made this with and without the chilli and it's always so yummy

if you dont like spice adding some fruit is great[dried]
