If you want to change up your usual chocolate chips cookies. Go for this recipe with its subtle heat and cinnamon edge.

This guy was carrying around some change.

Hot and Spicy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

6 oz butter, softened
3/4 c packed dark brown sugar
1/2 c granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 c + 2 Tbs flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 c bittersweet chocolate chips or chunks

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2. Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla, cinnamon and cayenne pepper.

3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt together. Add to the butter mixture and mix until just combined. Add the chocolate chips.

4. Scoop dough onto a baking sheet leaving enough room for them to spread. Bake for about 12-15 minutes each or until the edges are set, but the middle is still soft. As these cookies bake, they go from chewy to cakey to crisp, so you can change their characteristic by the amount of time you bake them for.
