Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
2 teaspoon ground ancho chili powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
3/4 cups unsalted butter (1 1/2-sticks)

In a large bowl, beat unsalted butter on medium-high speed 1 minute or until light and creamy. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar; beat 2 minutes or until slightly fluffy, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add egg and vanilla extract; beat until well combined. Add half the flour mixture; meat on medium-low speed until just combined. Add remaining flour mixture; beat 2 minutes or just until mixture comes together (do not over mix). Add chocolate chunks and pepitas; beat on low until just combined. Use a 2 ounce ice cream scoop of 1/4 cup dry measuring cup to portion dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2" between each cookie. Bake 15 minutes or until edges are crisp but centers are still soft, rotating backing sheets top to bottom and front to back halfway through baking time. Let cookies cool completely on baking sheets before removing to a rack. Store up to 5 days in an airtight container.

ANCHO CHILE PORK CHOPS



Ancho Chile Pork Chops image

Spicy broiled or grilled marinated pork chops. I came across this recipe when I wanted to use up some ancho chilies and this fit the bill perfectly. If you want it spicier you may want to add another chili to the marinade mixture. Recipe adapted from Cooking Light (March, 2003). Prep time does not include marinating time (8 hours). Cook time is grilling or broiling time.
