Mexican hot chocolate cookies

1 pkg sugar cookie mix (Betty Crocker)
1/4 cup coffee (optional, I used leftover from the pot)
1/4-1/2 cup flour (just enough so they are sticky)
1/2 bag chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli because they were on sale at the Commissary)
1 stick butter
1 egg
2 TBSP cocoa powder (optional)

Mix together and roll balls into the following mix:

1/2-1 TBSP chili powder (depends on how Spicy you want them)
1/2 TBSP cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar

Place on cookie sheets and flatten with the bottom of a cup. They will spread so leave room between cookies. I got 25 large cookies out of each batch.

Make sure you put them in a sealed container. I didn't and they turned into coffee/milk dunkers.

You can also make it without cocoa powder and coffee, but when I tried both ways we liked the chocolate better! If you omit the coffee you can omit the extra flour. You will get 16 large cookies. We like our cookies HUGE!

I asked the Teenage Resident what he thought of them and he said they tasted like hot cocoa. So I guess I got it right!

I took several recipes and found what worked for me.
