    Wrap each chicken cube with bacon and secure with a wooden pick.
    Stir together brown sugar and chili powder.

    Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Cookies



    Ingredients:

    1/2 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
    1 cup light brown sugar, packed
    1 cup granulated sugar
    2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
    2 extra-large eggs at room temperature

    2/3 cup good unsweetened cocoa
    2 cups flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon salt

    1 1/2 pounds good white chocolate chips

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

    Cream the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
    Add the vanilla, then the eggs, 1 at a time, and mix well.
    Add the cocoa and mix again.
    Add the flour, baking soda, and salt.
    Mix ONLY until just combined.
    Fold in the  white chocolate chips.

    Drop the dough on a baking sheet lined with silpat.
    Scoop using small scoop. Make sure some of the chips show thru on the top.
    Dampen your hands and flatten the dough slightly.

    Bake for 10 minutes (the cookies will seem underdone).
    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the pan until they set up a little.
