Did I pull my brakes to making cookies? Notably, I didn't because after making
Nyonya Pineapple Tarts and
Chinese Peanut Cookies, I was in full force. What a force for a fact. The force which keep motivating me, moreover, since my other half-half is travelling, I didn't have to cook our regular meals and time of course was fully in my hand. But the question returned again. Which cookies should I be making? And because I am more of a spicy queen compared to sweetie pie, I ventured to making Cayenne Chocolate Cookies for which I had to buy a box of cocoa powder and thank god for the stock of cayenne pepper. In fact the bottle of cayenne pepper, wonder why I bought in the first place few months ago, like shouting and calling for the outcome of these eggless chocolaty, spicy sweet melting-me, melting you in the heart and mouth Cayenne Chocolate Cookies.
Ingredients
100g cold butter
40g sugar (add more if you like)
13g cocoa powder
20g rice flour
60g plain flour
1/2 tbsp cayenne pepper (more or less, or as you like)
1 tsp vanilla essence
A pinch of baking soda
1 tbsp flour (for dipping fork; keep aside
for later use)
Method
Cream/beat butter, sugar and essence till
light and fluffy.
Sift cocoa, rice flour and plain flour, soda and
chili flakes.
Fold into butter mixture.
(Note: the dough will be sticky and its
suppose to be like that)
Leave in fridge for about 1 hour.
Bring out and roll into small balls.
Place on baking tray, lined with baking
paper.
Dip fork into flour and press over the
rolled balls.
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 160C or till
cookies are nice and brown.
