Mexican chocolate chip cookies are a delicious and unique twist on the classic cookie. These cookies are made with a rich chocolate that is blended with spices like cinnamon and black pepper to give them a deep, complex flavor.

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 package (12 ounce size) semisweet Ibarra Mexican chocolate chips
Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in large bowl until fluffy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time, then vanilla. Sift next 6 ingredients over butter mixture; beat just until blended. Mix in chocolate chips.
Refrigerate dough until cold, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter large baking sheets.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto sheets, spacing 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake cookies until golden brown but still soft to touch, about 10 minutes (for crisper cookies, bake 12 minutes).
Let stand on sheets 3 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks and cool.
