These cookies are slow baked at a low heat. They turn out to be a crispy little chocolate shortbread cookie. Ancho chile powder, cinnamon and black pepper are the secret spices that give these cookies their hint of spicy flavor. Serve these Mexican Chocolate Shortbread Cookies with tea or coffee. They happen to be great dunkers. If you’re having a Mexican- themed party, these are a nice sweet treat to include in your menu.
If you’re an ice cream fanatic, they make an excellent ice cream garnish too! Shortbread cookie fans will also enjoy my Cranberry- Orange Shortbread Cookies or my Pumpkin Shortbread Cookies. These Lemon Shortbread Cookies look pretty amazing as well.
