Ingredients

FOR COOKIES:

German Chocolate Cake Mix (without pudding in the mix)

1 Tbsp fresh ground cinnamon or 2 Tbsp pre-ground cinnamon

1 Tbsp ground/dried Chili Pepper seasoning

1/2 tsp fresh ground nutmeg

1/2 stick of butter, room temperature or melted

2 jumbo eggs

1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

FOR DUSTING COOKIES:

1/4 tsp fresh or 1/2 tsp pre-ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp fresh ground nutmeg

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 Tbsp cocoa powder

Directions

COOKIES: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Empty contents of the chocolate cake mix into a large mixing bowl.

Stir in 1-2 Tbsp cinnamon, 1 Tbsp chili pepper, 1/2 tsp fresh nutmeg until evenly distributed through the cake mix and any lumps in the cake mix are broken down.

Add 2 eggs and butter to the dry ingredients and mix until all dry ingredients are incorporated and a thick dough forms.

Add in chocolate chips and work into dough until evenly distributed.

Measure out dough in 1 Tbsp size portions and form into balls.

Place balls on baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

Bake full sheets of cookies in batches in the oven for 10-12 minutes each sheet, then remove from oven and transfer cookies to cooling racks. Cool completely.

While cookies are cooling, in a small mixing bowl, sift together 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 Tbsp cocoa powder, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, and 1/4 - 1/2 tsp cinnamon until well mixed. Store in a tightly covered container until ready to use.

When cookies are cooled and ready to serve or pack for holiday giving, roll each cookie in the powdered sugar and spice mixture until lightly coated, tapping each cookie lightly to remove the excess. Some of the chocolate cookie should show through the powdered mix; you don't need to coat the cookies thickly (unless you prefer them that way). Pack or serve. Makes approximately 3 dozen cookies. Tastes great with hot chocolate, coffee or just a large glass of milk. Mmmmmmm.
