I made these spicy chocolate cookies the other day with Theo’s chipotle spicy chile dark chocolate bar.. The chocolate bar spice is balanced with the warmth of guajillo chile and cinnamon, the tanginess of pasilla chile and a subtle hint of citrus. There is only a mild spice kick to the cookies. The batch I made for a bakesale werent sweet enough. well sweet enough for me.. but not for the bakesale. So I whipped up this sweet Caramel chocolate filling with the same chocolate and filled the cookies with it! whoopie! The cookies are soft, but not super squishy and the creamy insides sets as it cools into a sweet and spicy creamy middle.
