Spice boxes
For those who love cookies and can never get enough, join Cookie Monster today to celebrate his birthday. Try this therapeutic spin on a traditional Toll House style recipe and enjoy the multiple dimensions of flavor this cookie has to offer. This spicy and satisfying version combines warm spices like cinnamon, mace and nutmeg with semi-sweet chocolate and cayenne pepper to increase circulation and warmth during the cold season. Chocolate and Cayenne pepper have been used together in multiple foods for centuries by the Mayan, Incan and Aztec cultures, for spiritual and medicinal purposes. The moderate sweetness mixed with different flours creates a texture and taste equivalent to a bowl of hot cereal, making this an acceptable breakfast cookie.
