Spiced with spicy chilies, these chocolate chili cookies are chocolatey enough just like what you expect in chocolate cookies, but with a little hint of kick in it. These chocolate chili cookies aren’t really spicy!
Blogging has opened up a whole new perspective towards food for me. Couple of years back, I wouldn’t dare to try anything that wasn’t familiar to me.
Now, I’m more open to trying things. Little I knew that it was the beginning, a beginning into an adventurous culinary journey of my life. Now I’m all in for trying out new dishes, experimenting with different flavors and exploring a whole new culinary world.
A few years back if someone offered me chocolate cookies with chilies in it…I would have scrunched my face. Yeah I was that unenlightened about the culinary world. I was that frog in the well who only knew prawns, chicken, rice and roti(flatbread), not a thing beyond that.
Chocolate is great. Everybody loves chocolate. Adding flavors to chocolate is one of the best way to eat chocolate. This chocolate cookie has chilies, nutmeg and cinnamon powder to enhance the flavor and taste of chocolate. The spice powders aren’t overpowering in taste, it just adds a wonderful mild kick. It does balances the sweetness in the cookies.
Chocolate cookies are most people’s favorite, both kids and adults. It’s one of those cookies which you can’t stop eating. While chocolate cookie itself is amazing, you can make it totally gourmet by adding a little chilies to the cookie.
Chilies and chocolate together may not sound tempting to some but believe me it is one of the dangerously delicious combination. If you haven’t tried that combo yet, give it a try now. And what better way than baking some fresh homemade delicious chocolate chili cookies with a hint of kick in it!
These chocolate chili cookies warms you up and it’s amazing to have it on cold winter days.

These cookies look so good. Dying to make them. Any suggestions on how to replace the eggs to make this an eggless recipe?

Though I haven’t tried substituting eggs in my cookie recipe and cant assure you the texture and taste here,
I can tell try substituting 1/4 cup vegetable oil in place of 1 egg. Please adjust the consistency to get the right texture of cookie dough.
