Or as my boyfriend calls them: Pepper-doodles
Whatever you call them, they are really delicious cookies with a bit of a kick. I came up with the idea of these cookies after getting a chili infused chocolate bar at the store on a whim and fell in love. To me it screamed to be baked into a cookie, but I felt a traditional chocolate chip cookie wasn't exactly the right fit, instead I wanted a cookie that would complement the sweet and spicy chocolate without being too bland or overpowering. Cinnamon seemed to be the solution, playing off the distinct flavor combination of Mexican hot chocolate. So I set out to see if I could even make them, not knowing if they would be any good at all, and I am quite happy with the results. For those of you who aren't into spicy foods, these shouldn't be a challenge at all, the spice kicks in as a nice little after burn that really just makes your mouth tingle a bit.
