Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure soft cookies.
Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough, rolling them into balls, and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will set as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies warm or at room temperature and enjoy the sweet yet spicy explosion of flavor!
