Cookies that start with a cake mix are especially good for sending long distances, such as to deployed troops, as the preservatives in the cake mix will keep them fresh longer.
SPICY HOT CHOCOLATE BROWNIE COOKIES
1 (13x9-inch pan size-about 20 oz.) pkg. chewy fudge brownie mix
3/4 tsp. ground chipotle chile pepper (found in the spice aisle-the brand I got is McCormick Gourmet Collection Chipotle Chile Pepper)
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/3 c. vegetable oil OR butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 tsp. orange juice concentrate (optional-I don't always use this)
1 1/4 c. semisweet chocolate chips or chunks
1 c. chopped pecans (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine brownie mix, chipotle and cayenne; add oil, eggs and orange juice concentrate and stir with a wooden spoon just until blended. Stir in chocolate chips.
Drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls 2" apart onto prepared pans. Sprinkle with chopped pecans, if desired.
Bake @ 350 degrees for 11-14 minutes or until cracked in appearance and just barely set in the center when lightly touched. Cool on pans for 1-2 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.
Store in an airtight container.
Makes about 3 dozen.
