Orange Chili Chocolate Cookies

It's never too soon to start planning for holiday baking.  This will be something different for sure.  I love the taste of chocolate and spice together.

1 pkg.  sugar cookie mix
1/3 C. baking cocoa
4 tsp. orange rind
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 C. butter, softened
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. Triple Sec, optional (you could probably use Grand Marnier here too)

Topping:
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Combine cookie mix, cocoa, orange peel, cinnamon and cayenne.  Beat in butter, egg, vanilla and Triple Sec if desired.

Mix sugar and cinnamon..  Roll dough into 1 inch balls; roll balls in sugar mixture.  Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.  Bake until set; 8-10 minutes.  Remove from sheets to wire racks to cool.
