MEXICAN CHILI CHOCOLATE COOKIES

1 pkg chocolate chips (350g) - melt 1 cup (reserve remainder) in a bowl over hot water (or microwave) - cool to room temperature
1 cup (227g) butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar. lightly packed
2 eggs - beaten into butter mixture

1 tbs cocoa
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp chili powder to taste - I prefer more
1/2 tsp cayenne - optional - I always use



Heat oven to 350F. Grease/parchment paper 2 cookie sheets. It says makes 48 - I usually end up with 70!

Beat one cup of the  melted chocolate chips with the butter and sugars. Beat eggs into butter mixture.

Mix  instant coffee, vanilla, flour and cinnamon,baking soda, salt, chili powder together.
Add to butter mixture. Mix on low just until combined.

Stir in remaining chocolate chips.
