A spicy twist to a cookie favorite.
Are you a spicy food fan and a chocolate chip cookie purist? These fiery cookies are right up your alley. Nothing fancy, just vanilla-rich cookie dough, delicious chocolate chips (and lots of them), and the big sweet heat of a habanero pepper. It’s a whole lot of flavor in a simple package. If you want things even hotter, double down on the habanero.

Just made a batch of these (though I halved the amount of choc chips), and I’m really loving the warm kick you get from them! I had intended to take them into work but we may just end up eating them all at home!
