Mixing the Cookie Dough

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with Presto Pizzazz Plus Rotating Pizza Oven or traditional parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using the KitchenAid Classic Iconic Stand Mixer.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, chili powder, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, until you get a smooth, thick dough. Mix in the chocolate chunks if desired.

Baking the Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies

1. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
2. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are firm but the centers remain soft.
3. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.

4. Storage Tips

Store these Mexican hot chocolate cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
