Chili Powder and Pecan Crackles
Ingredients
  • 1
    9 ounce package devils food cake mix
  • 2
    tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 - 1/2
    teaspoon ground chipotle chili powder
  • 1
    egg, lightly beaten
  • 1
    tablespoon butter, softened
  • 2
    tablespoons milk
  • 1/2
    cup finely chopped pecans
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degree F. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together cake mix, cocoa powder, chipotle chili powder, egg, and butter until all is moistened (dough will be stiff).

2. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place milk in a shallow dish. Place nuts in another shallow dish. Dip balls in milk, then in nuts to coat. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

3. Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 9 minutes or until tops are crackled. Cool on cookie sheet 1 minute. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Makes about 20.

There was something missing from this recipe. If you follow it as it's written, it is too dry. Look at the ingredients; 1 egg and 1 Tbsp butter are the only wet ingredients added to the cookie mix. The milk is just used to coat the balls before you roll them in the pecans. I added 1/3 cup oil and an egg and it worked well. I used 1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp chili powder and it had just enough of a kick. Next time I think I'll roast the pecans first for more flavor.
