Mexican Chocolate Snickerdoodles Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Mix together 1 1/2 cups white sugar, shortening, and eggs with an electric mixer in a bowl until creamy.
• Sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa power, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Fold this mixture into the egg mixture until well blended.
• Mix together 1/4 cup white sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl or on a plate.
• Roll cookie dough into 1-inch balls; cover each in sugar and cinnamon mixture. Place on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until soft and golden on top, 6 to 8 minutes, making sure they do not burn. Let cool before transferring to a wire rack. The tops will crack as they cool.

Steps:

• Mix the topping ingredients on a large dinner plate. Set aside.
• In a large bowl combine oil, sugar, syrup and milk using a fork. You have to stir quite vigorously to get them all combined nicely.
• Add the extracts.
• In a second bowl combine the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and spices). Add them to the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Mix until you have a pliable dough. If it is too wet add a tad more flour, if its too dry add a tad more milk.
• Roll the dough into balls the size of a walnut. Roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and place them on a paper-lined baking sheet. Use your palm to flatten them into about 2 inch disks. In the book it says to leave at least 2 inches space between the cookies as they will spread, however mine did not spread very much.
• Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C/350°F for 10-12 minutes. Cookies should crackle on top.
• Remove from the oven, let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire-rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or leave ungreased.

• In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon, cayenne, and salt. Blend well.
• Slowly stir flour mixture into the bowl with butter mixture. Combine well.

• Bake for 8-10 minutes.
• Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute before removing to a cooling rack.

Steps:
