Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies with Green Chilies

The inspiration for these cookies came from my first fall in New Mexico at chili picking time. Driving into town one morning the air was filled with the wonderful aroma of roasting chilies from Hatch, the chili capitol of NM. Read more Outside the grocery stores they park roasters. You pick your “heat” and they toss a burlap bag of chilies and roast them while you wait. I was so carried away I ended up with three bushels in my freezer. I have used canned chilies in this recipe for the benefit of those who don’t have access to fresh ones. If you want to be industrious you can buy fresh chilies and roast them on your grill. It was not my intention to have them be a mouth-burning but rather a subtle heat. Add more heat if you wish. See less
