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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure soft cookies.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.

Step 7

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough, rolling them into balls, and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Serve the cookies warm or at room temperature and enjoy the sweet yet spicy explosion of flavor!
