Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies, inspired by Vaughn Vreeland and NYT Cooking, are a delightful fusion of chocolate and spice, bringing a unique twist to a classic cookie. These cookies are perfectly soft in the middle with a satisfying outer crunch, offering a delicious contrast in textures. The rich, chocolatey flavor is enhanced by a blend of warming spices like cinnamon and a hint of cayenne, giving each bite a pleasant, spicy kick reminiscent of traditional Mexican hot chocolate.
To elevate the indulgence, the cookies are studded with mini marshmallows, which melt into a creamy, gooey layer that adds a luxurious element to the cookies. The combination of these elements creates a well-rounded treat that’s both comforting and exciting. Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies are a deliciously unique dessert that captures the essence of cozy, spiced chocolate in every bite.
