Step 1
*If you’re not into spicy, you can add less chili powder, or omit it entirely. If you want cookies with more spice, try adding ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
Step 2
Whisk dry ingredients (flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and spices) together and set aside.
Step 3
Cream butter and sugars with paddle attachment, on medium-low speed, until fluffy and pale in color (about 5 minutes).
Step 4
Add egg and extracts and mix on low speed until thoroughly combined. Scrape down the paddle with a spatula, and then continue to mix on low speed for another 30 seconds to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Step 5
Add dry ingredients, all at once, and mix on low speed just until dough starts to come together and no dry bits remain. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Turn dough out onto cling wrap, tightly wrap, and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
Step 7
Knead, roll, cut out cookies, and return to fridge or freezer until firm. Leave a couple inches between cookies.
Step 8
Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes, rotate pan, and bake for another 1-5 minutes until edges are starting to turn golden brown.
Step 9
Remove cookies from oven and allow to cool on cookie sheet before handling.
