Mexican Hot Chocolate Snickerdoodles

OK so I am getting back into the video world with a very appropriate, prim and proper little video about cookies! Mexican Hot Chocolate Snickerdoodles, to be exact. And I blather on about the Aztecs and autumn a bit in the video so I won’t overdo it here. But let me just say that they are one of my absolute favorites in the book, you probably already have all the ingredients, and I hope you make them!

Mexican Hot Chocolate SnickerdoodlesMakes 2 dozen Cookies

A beautiful crackle topped chocolate cookie with a spicy cayenne kick and a sugary cinnamon coating. Sold?

For the topping:
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the cookies:
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons almond milk (Or your preferred non-dairy milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon chocolate extract (or more vanilla extract if you have no chocolate)
1 2/3 cups flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Mix the topping ingredients together on a flat plate. Set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork to vigorously mix together oil,  sugar, syrup, and milk. Mix in extracts.

Sift in remaining ingredients, stirring as you add them. Once all ingredients are added mix until you’ve got a pliable dough.

Roll dough into walnut sized balls. Pat into the sugar topping to flatten into roughly 2 inch discs. Transfer to baking sheet, sugar side up, at least 2 inches apart (they do spread). This should be easy as the the bottom of the cookies should just stick to your fingers so you can just flip them over onto the baking sheet.  Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, they should be a bit spread and crackly on top. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

    thank you for this recipe. I do have all these ingredients.I am def sold.

  2. Kelly Says:

    Considering how much I loved the Mexican Hot Chocolate Cupcakes in VCTOTW, I am SUPER excited to try this recipe! Looks fantastic!

  3. H-Dog Says:

    I think you’re missing a paragraph tag before the YouTube video. It’s made the page go all wonky. Oh, and mmm, snickerdoodles.

  4. IsaChandra Says:

    Oh the page is ok on my puter, but I put a p-tag in there. Does it look ok to you now?

  5. Sarah W Says:

    Omg omg have my babies! I am so making these tonight even though I am currently squatting in my in laws house. Yesssss!!!

    Question, what is the purpose of parchment paper in a recipe? Is a greases cookie sheet sufficient??

  6. Janelle Says:

    Hmmmm - we will definitely try these. My boys love vegan snickerdoodles and this takes the concept one step further.

    Question: does the new book have a sugar cookie suitable for rolling and cutting out in it? I need a no-egg recipe for Christmas cut-out cookies and so far everything I’ve tried has not been a success. My favorite family recipe w/ egg beats them all hands down. I figure if anyone can come up with an eggless alternative, it’s you. If so, please advertise this closer to the holiday baking season! Many thanks!

  7. IsaChandra Says:

    Sarah - parchment works better than a greased cookie sheet to help the cookies spread and keep them from sticking. It also has the added benefit of protecting your cookie sheets!

    Janelle - It does indeed have a roll and cut sugar cookie! I think that’s exactly what they’re called, too.

    Spicy chocolate yumminess - that’s my kind of cookies! I’ve never made snickerdoodles (not sure I’ve ever had one, actually), and those definitely seem to be the perfect way to lose my snickerdoodles virginity…

  14. Kelly Says:

    i just had to make these too- gluten free as always! This time I used a combination of sorghum and rice flour. I also used dutch cocoa which is a darker, richer cocoa. i used sparking sugar for the tops, but it didn’t sparkle so much when i added the cinnamon! They are beautiful, and taste great. Thanks so much!!!

  15. Renee Says:

    I made them tonight, they are SO GOOD!

  16. Elizabeth Says:

    I just made these! So, so good.

    I was naughty and unveganised them - I didn’t have nondairy milk or vegetable oil (apart from EV olive and pumpkinseed) so I used regular milk and an egg.. they still tasted awesome! I promise I’ll make them the vegan way next time :D

    Oh my. I haven’t encountered snickerdoodles before but I’m sold.

    Two questions:
    You mention in the video that the sugar reacts with the oil when you beat them together. Could you elaborate, or point me in the right direction? I haven’t seen or heard anything talk about that before.

    Maple syrup is expensive in Australia - would golden syrup be OK or should I really go for maple?

    If anyone is questioning whether its worth it to track down chocolate extract - it is. These are unbelievably chocolate-y.

    And here I was thinking I’d be baking this weekend and here is this FABULOUS recipe! I grew up drinking Mexican hot chocolate and champurrado (an incidentally vegan chocolatey slurry of fresh masa and Mexican chocolate served around the holidays), and I’ve always loved snickerdoodles. This looks like the perfect marriage of both!

    Thank you, Isa, for this cookie book — I’m SO looking forward to replacing my old, unvegan Betty Crocker cookie book with your abfab vegan one this fall!

  28. Megan Says:

    OMG these were one of my favorite recipes to test! SO GOOD!

  29. Weekend Carnivore Says:

    Holy cow those look and sound amazing!

  30. Rae Says:

    these were really easy to make, and they ended up looking just like the photo. (professional finish with minimal effort is always a plus) i was a little worried when i saw they didn’t have any cream of tartar in them, but it didn’t seem to make a difference.

    the cayenne pepper gives you a nice swift kick in the ass, but in the best way possible. even my atkins-brainwashed step dad had a few of these.
    :D thank you!

  31. erin Says:

    These look amazing. Isa, any suggestions on where to get chocolate extract? I went to a specialty baking shop and their extracts (included chocolate) looked all weirdly chemical-ly, like they were flavored with an artificial flavor (I suppose in the same way that vanillin is the primary ingredient in imitation vanilla?) Is there something I should look for in a “quality” chocolate extract or are they all that way?

  32. IsaChandra Says:

    Kitchen stores should have it, like sur la table and kitchen kaboodle. I’ve found it at whole foods too, but someone else mentioned that theirs didn’t stock it. Also, Trader Joe’s and Penzy’s spices if you have one in your area.

  33. penny Says:

    I made these right after I watched the video. They are fantastic! My husband can’t stop raving about them and you can be sure I’ll be making them again! Can’t wait to get the book and try all the other recipes! Thanks for doing what you do!

  34. Franni Says:

    One question about the maple syrup: Which type? Grade A, B, dark, light? Thank you!

  35. IsaChandra Says:

    Franni, honestly any maple syrup will work!

  36. britany Says:

    i am making these riggggght now

  37. RedBeetsRock Says:

    I posted this on the boards too, but thought I may get some other opinions here as well, especially because I really want to make them! Has anybody made these with substitutions? I sprained my ankle yesterday and have to amuse myself, but am out of a) maple syrup, so I was thinking molasses, and b) would like to cut back a little on the oil. Thoughts?

  38. T Says:

    I tried these cookies last night, and they were delicious!! But, I should have known that I couldn’t handle spicy! Next time I’ll make these minus the cayenne pepper.

  39. Nicole Says:

    I had to make a few really minor subs due to what I had on hand:
    -no chocolate extract in my house, so I just upped the vanilla and through in a bit of almond since I love almond extract so much.
    -all out of canola, so I melted some earth balance and allowed it to cool.
    -aaaand, I had some unmarked pepper in a container next to my collection of other peppers–and I thought it might be extra cayenne (I was all out otherwise), but I didn’t want to mess it up, so I used Ancho instead. I mean, it was good, but probably not as spicy as it could have been.

    The cookies are delish — soft and sweet. Although, I was left with so so so much extra cinn-sugar topping on my plate. Maybe I’m just a light dipper?

  40. lindsey Says:

    Just made them today. Super delicious sweet with a slight kick! Awesome. Thanks!!

    I just made these this morning, and they are delicious! I can’t wait for the book to come out so I can try more of your new cookie recipes!

  43. Virginia Says:

    I think I might’ve done something *slightly* wrong. Or I just think I did. Are you supposed to flatten the cookies completely out? My cookie dough seemed a little bit dry (I did reduce the sugar by about 1/4 cup) and when I flattened the dough out it would start to crumble. Not all of my cookies would crackle on top after being baked either. Is it possible I did something to cause them to do that? (They still taste delicious!)

  44. Jess of Veg Out! Says:

    These are so delicious! I absolutely love them. I did reduce the sugar to 3/4 c., but other than that, followed the directions exactly. They are also the only cookie I have made that looked EXACTLY like the picture accompanying the recipe. They’re gorgeous!

  45. Jess of Veg Out! Says:

    Oh, and I pre-ordered the cookie book months ago! Can’t wait to get it & start stuffing my face!

  46. Jessie Bea Says:

    These are unbelievably good. I love that it’s a vegan cookie that doesn’t use any ingredients that wouldn’t otherwise be found in an omni’s kitchen. Amazing! And they look gorgeous.

  47. Monica Says:

  89. christie lee Says:

    I made these, they taste great, but are REALLY crispy, what am I doing wrong? They were fine in soymilk, but I’d prefer a chewier rather than crispy hard cookie!

    xo

  90. Miss Lynx Says:

    Wow - just made these, and they’re so good! And they were really easy to make, even for someone like me who’s kind of baking-challenged. I did find they cooked a bit faster than I was expecting, and waiting 10 minutes to take them out resulted in very crispy cookies. I think next time I’ll watch them more carefully, and maybe try taking them out at 8 minutes or something. Still, they’re super-delicious, so I’m not about to complain. :-)

    Now I’ve really got to get the book, and the cupcake book, and and and… Well, at least I finally got the Veganomicon (had to start with that one, because I’m a huge Lovecraft geek), so that’s a start.

    Elsewhere on the vegan cookies front, I was really pleasantly surprised to find that in my local newspaper’s cookie advent calendar (one recipe per day from Dec 1 to Christmas), they had included a few vegan recipes, plus quite a few more that could easily be made vegan by substituting Earth Balance for butter. So, far from having to work at finding vegan cookie recipes to make for a Christmas potluck I’m going to tomorrow, the hard part was trying to decide between all the ones I’d found! But this one was definitely top priority.

  93. Lily Says:

    These were lovely, the cayenne worked perfectly with the sweetness and my mum said these were the best cookies she’s ever had!
    I used corn oil instead of canola, as it’s not available in the UK. Fellow Brits: when recipes call for canola, use any vegetable oil which will fit the taste of the recipe, for example, olive oil has a distinctive taste which probably wouldn’t work in a sweet recipe, but would in a savoury recipe.
    I also used golden syrup in place of the maple syrup (also not available in the UK), which worked perfectly.

  94. Boris Says:

    This was the first of your recipes I tried, Isa, and I must say these were absolutely delicious and just simply spot on, even for someone who isn’t easily satisfied with other’s (and his own) culinary exploits - though certainly not due to overly refined tastebuds; just that horrible perfectionism.

  96. Amber Says:

    These are SO good! Yum!!! I followed the recipe to a T, with the exception of adding a little extra cinnamon.

    If the cookies don’t come out crackly on top, you probably just pressed them together too much when you rolled them into balls.
    They will continue to harden quite a bit as they cool, so take them out of the oven while they’re still pretty soft–8-10 minutes instead of 10-12.

  99. Amber Says:

    Edit: the cookies will be a different texture if you use baking powder instead of baking soda and will not get as crackly on top.

  100. Wendy Says:

    These were so good and so easy to make with my 2 year old! He did all of the mixing, rolling, and patting! A forgiving dough for toddler hands. Spicy enough for mama, but not too bad for little ones!

  101. Nikki Says:

    SUCCESS! Gone within 24 hrs.

    Word to the novice baker (like myself): stir the flour into the wet mixture by hand. I know this seems obvious but it didn’t occur to me until after I freaked out about the dough being too dry and crumbly from stirring it with a wooden spoon. Franatically, I added another tablespoon or so of almond milk making the dough too moist/sticky.

    Still the cookies came out with a crispy outside and chewy inside. However, only the edges of the cookies crackled, not the center. Is this because I substituted white whole wheat flour for all-purpose? Hmmm.

    Next time I make these I’ll add an additional .5 teaspoon of ancho/chipotle chili powder. (For this batch, I used a blend of cayenne and ancho chili powder for additional flavor to complement the heat).

  102. Regina Says:

    SO DELICIOUS! and easy! I followed the recipe exactly, except for not having chocolate extract (doubled vanilla as directed) and they are simply scrumptious and so easy to make. My 4-year old said they were too spicy but it didn’t keep him from gobbling his all up. Next time I’ll use 1/4tsp cayenne for his sake, but I love the kick. Can’t wait to try them on my family tonight!

    Superb and I just love that spicy after taste! I didn’t have any alternative milk around and so I substituted strong coffee instead, which I think helped to boost the chocolate flavor. Also, I think the baking time is more like 6-8 minutes, to keep them chewy once cool. In fact, I find they actually taste better too after fully cooling. Thanks!

    I’m a big fan–I have your Veganomics and Vegan Cupcakes books, and the recipes have all produced great results. But I made these cookies last night, and they were WAY too sticky to roll when made according to the recipe–the dough looked more like brownie batter. I added about 1/2 cup additional flour, which yielded a soft but pliable dough, and the results were excellente. If you need a test kitchen in the future, I’ll volunteer.

    I just pulled these out of my oven about half an hour ago - they are soo delicious! I love that spicy surprise at the end ;)
    My cookies did not spread out like yours did. Not sure why - but they taste great so it doesn’t really matter.

    Thanks!

    I couldn’t even consider becoming vegan without your recipes. I thought I would have to give up my beloved baking when I changed my diet (there are some scary vegan cooks out there) but with specifically your cookbooks, my favorite past time can continue. My omnivorous husband and daughter love your stuff too! thankyouthankyouthankyou

    Bliss! Made these this evening & they rock! I’m a Portuguese girl & I LOVE heat (with & w/o chocolate). I found them to have a bit too much bite (they weren’t too hot, I would just prefer more of a balance between the sweet & the heat. I really loved that it (the heat) stayed at the back of my throat, but I think they’d be a bit better if I turned it down a notch next time) but I WILL make them again! Used high quality, raw cacao, and the chocolate extract (actually, ALL of the ingredients were high quality…co-op’s rule!). Best tasting AND looking snickerdoodles ever! Thank you!

    Best cookies I have ever tasted! First chocolate, then a pure kick of fire. Thank you!

  128. Lianne Says:

    I just made these and they are SO DELICIOUS! You’re right that I had most of the ingredients in my kitchen already, but I made a few substitutions:

    Chocolate liqueur = chocolate extract
    Smushed up red pepper flakes = cayenne pepper
    Gross fake maple syrup = awesome expensive maple syrup (and I used less sugar to compensate)

    They’re like crunchy, chewy, delicious fudge cookies. You’re right that the chocolate isn’t covered up by anything! So good.

    I used my baking stone instead of a cookie sheet with parchment paper and they turned out perfectly! Thanks for the recipe. :)

  136. Leah Says:

    I just made these, and the flavor is awesome! I had to use carob powder because I was out of cocoa, but I will be making these again once I get cocoa powder. I also used chili powder in place of cayenne, because I am not one for lots of spice. I do have one question. When I made these, they didn’t get any bigger than when I originally pressed them to put them on the cookie sheet, and also, they didn’t ‘crackle’ on the top. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why that is? Anyway, they were still awesome, thanks for the recipe!
