Yes you read the title correctly....there's cayenne pepper in these cookies! It's kind of the best. And definitely not as strange as it sounds. You'll love it, I promise! It's not an obnoxious or overpowering spiciness at all, and is more of a subtle little kick! And it complements the rich chocolate flavor of this cookie so well. Jordyn saw Diablo Cookies popping up around the internet for quite a while now, and finally decided to give them a go! She tweaked her to-die-for triple chocolate cookie recipe into this masterpiece, and the results are pretty spectacular.
