EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Place food directly on Reynolds® Parchment Paper and bake as directed. Treats will bake evenly and release from paper with ease. Plus, because you're baking right on the paper, clean-up is a breeze.

This recipe was one of fifteen winners in the 2007 Mix It Up with Betty! Cookie Mix Recipe Contest. More than $10,000 was awarded!

Look for the hot chocolate tablets in the Hispanic section of your supermarket.

Use a #70 or 1-tablespoon spring-loaded ice cream scoop to make quick work of dropping the cookie dough. Using a scoop also ensures cookies will be the same size and will bake the same length of time.

Are these spicy as in peppery or is just the chocolate flavor intensified? Is it still a sweet flavor? Thank you!

I made these for a Mexican themed tailgate party. Thought I would have prob. finding the Mexican Hot Choc mix but found it at super store in Mexican food isle; also used margarine instead butter (since earlier comment indicated this would help make them softer). I did use the bottom of a glass to gently push down cookie (helped them cook flatter). The 2nd batch I did not roll in cin/sugar mixture I just sprinkled this on to cut down on the sweetness. Cook only 10 minutes and maybe even 9 by the time you put last try in oven. Very good cookie for a change of the usual.

Made these cookies for Cinco De Mayo. My family loved them. So much that they have been bugging me everyday for them, and I am granting their wish and making them again today. They are delicious!!
