Spicy Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies. For a healthy and delicious sweet treat.

There’s nothing quite like the combination of sweet and spicy. I first tried this combination at a Mexican restaurant where I tried a Mexican Hot Chocolate and Chilli Brownie and I just loved the flavour combination!

I wanted to create a healthy alternative that still tasted delicious. If you enjoy a little bit of spice and chocolate, then you will definitely love these spicy Mexican hot chocolate cookies.

They are really easy to make too, with only 8 easy ingredients needed. They are perfectly crunchy and the outside and soft and gooey on the inside.
