Cayenne Chocolate Snickerdoodles Recipe
Joy Of Comfort Food
Peppery Chocolate Cookies
These cayenne chocolate snickerdoodles are fabulous! After a very rough week, I needed some homemade cookies to help with the stress. But I wanted something different than the usual chocolate recipes, just a little bit, something new.
This recipe is a little bit different. This recipe combines chocolate with cayenne pepper and changes the innocent snickerdoodle into a surprising and unusual treat. It is sweet, but has a little bite to it.
Ok then.

Hot and sweet is very popular these days. These cookies are so regular chocolatey good, then that little bite of the cayenne kicks it so good.
Home made cookies are simply to die for.
