Mexican Spiced Chocolate Chip Cookies are a twist on the classic favorite, infused with warm spices like cinnamon and a hint of cayenne. These cookies are chewy, rich, and have just the right kick of heat to enhance the chocolate flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cayenne (if using), and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until creamy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are still soft.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • The cayenne adds a subtle heat—feel free to increase or omit depending on preference.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can help reduce spreading and enhance flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
