    List of Ingredients




    3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter
    2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
    3/4 cup granulated sugar (plus 1/3 cup for rolling the cookies)
    3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    1/4 teaspoon hot red cayenne pepper
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    2 large eggs
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
    1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 375 degrees

    Heat the butter in a large saucepan until just melted. Remove from heat
    Whisk in the cocoa, sugars, cayenne and salt until smooth, and stir in
    the eggs.
    Sift the flour and baking soda into the pan and stir until completely
    blended. Stir in the chocolate chips.
    If the dough is too soft to work with, cover and chill it until firm.
    Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and roll in the additional sugar.
    Arrange the balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
    Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes or until the tops are cracked
    (The cookies will be very soft). Do not bake the cookies longer or they
    will lose their chewy texture. Let the cookies cool completely on the
    sheets and transfer them to airtight containers.
