When we think of Cinco de Mayo recipes we typically think, margaritas, fish tacos, salsa, guacamole…I think you see where I’m going with this. Dessert isn’t typically even on the radar for this holiday. But I think a little sugar and spice will make everything nice…
Smoky chipotle chili powder gives these decadent double chocolate cookies a little sweet heat, but not too much, just the right amount. A super sweet ending for Cinco de Mayo. And I think they are a perfect accompaniment to that margarita!
