These are fabulous without the filling too.
Just made these cookies, despite the fact that I didn’t have enough cocoa powder. So I ended up mixing in 1/3 cp cocoa powder, 1/3 cup mole powder (the Mexican seasoning with cocoa and chili powder and a bit of ginger powder. The filling I made with a bit of vanilla, rum and Frangelico, just drops. What an amazing result! The flavor is complex, sweet and spicy. Recommend you experiment too!
Holy cow–Those sound fabulous! I’ll have to try something adventurous like this, although I don’t have some of those ingredients. Will have to see what I can come up with. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. So cool!
I made these with gluten free flour, since I have a gluten allergy and they turned out really good. Although I do have to say that they were SO sweet my husband couldn’t finish his. lol
I’ve made them more often without the filling inside. But the gluten free flour sounds like a really good idea.
