Combine butter and unsweetened chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir until melted. If the chocolate is not completely melted, cook in 30-second increments, stirring each time until smooth. Set aside. Combine flour, cocoa powder, cin- namon, chili powder, baking soda, salt and cayenne pepper, and whisk well. Set aside. Combine both sugars, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl and, using an elec- tric mixer, mix until well combined. Add the chocolate mixture, and continue to mix until uniform. Add the flour mixture, and mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips until just combined. Make a test cookie: Drop one cookie onto the prepared baking sheet (use a 3/4-oz. ice cream scoop if you have one, or form the cookies into 1 1/2-inch balls, flattening them slightly onto the baking sheet). Bake 12-15 minutes. If the cookies flatten while baking, repeat with remaining batter. If the cookies don't flatten, use your wet hand to flat- ten the cookies slightly before baking. Makes 2-3 dozen cookies. i NAIL SALON COMPLETE & PROFESSIONAL NAIL CARE Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday only specials: mani/pedi $5 off shellac w/manicure $3 off full set $2 off fill $5 off fill w/pedicure $5 off full set w/pedicure $5 off 248-539-0433 Hrs: Mon-Sat: 9:30am-7:30pm Sun 11 am-5pm 4301 Orchard Lake Rd., Ste. 160 W.
