Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons coffee liqueur
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground ancho chile pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/2 cups chopped pecans
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 ounce 53% cacao dark baking chocolate, grated

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in coffee liqueur and vanilla. Combine flour, ground chile, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the pecans, chocolate chips and grated chocolate.
  • 2. Divide dough in half. On an ungreased baking sheet, shape each half into a 10x2-in. rectangle. Bake until set and lightly browned, 20-25 minutes.
  • 3. Place pans on wire racks. When cool enough to handle, transfer to a cutting board; cut diagonally with a serrated knife into 3/4-in. slices. Place cut side down on ungreased baking sheets.
  • 4. Bake until golden brown, 8-10 minutes on each side. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
