spicy dark chocolate and cinnamon cookies

spicy dark chocolate and cinnamon cookies
(makes 4 cookies.)

3 tbsp white whole-wheat flour
3 tbsp cocoa powder (make sure it's the kind that's only cocoa, no sugar)
1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
3/4 tsp ancho chile pepper
3/4 tsp cinnamon
4 tbsp butter
3 tbsp dark brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 tsp vanilla

Preheat the oven to 375 F.

Cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg and mix until smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until just combined.

Divide the dough into four, and place each part onto aluminum foil on a baking sheet (to save the trouble of washing the baking sheet -- it's an awkward maneuver for a small sink).

Bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, and serve.


Note: This recipe still needs a bit of work. Also, I added bittersweet chocolate chips to my cookie, pictured above.
