Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies

I'm either a genius, or I'm certifiable.  I decided to make cookies this afternoon with no recipe whatsoever and weird ingredients on top of it.  And they got right on the first try!
I made a second batch tonight, just to make sure the spices were right, but they were good on the first try.
Enjoy!
1 disc Mexican Chocolate (chopped) - like Nestle's Abuelita
1/3 cup Powdered Sugar1 stick Butter
3/4 tsp Ground  Cinnamon1/4 tsp Ancho Chili Powder1/4 tsp Ground Cayenne (optional)
1/3 cup Dark Cocoa Powder - like Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa
2 eggs1/2 Tbsp vanilla

1 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour

Preheat oven to 350.

Cream Chocolate, Powdered Sugar and Butter.  Add spices.  Add Cocoa Powder
Add Eggs, Vanilla.
Add Flour
Drop small spoonfuls on parchment paper, press flat with fork.
These cookies can be placed very close on baking sheet, they don't melt or spread.

Bake 7-9 minutes or until set up and dry looking on top.

Don't pay $8 for Abuelita without checking Dollar General first.  Seriously.  It's like $3 at Dollar General.
