I love cooking and spend some time in the kitchen almost every day, so I wanted to give it a place on my blog as well. The banner for this feature is designed by Michelle from Limabean Designs.

These chocolate cookies are really good. The addition of cinnamon and cayenne gives them their unique flavor. If you want a good chocolate cookie with a hint of spice, you might like these.

This recipe is based upon The Beach House Kitchen’s Mexican Chocolate Sandwich Cookies with dulce the leche filling.

    • I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from these cookies at first, but the cinnamon and hint of cayenne pepper really adds something. It’s not too spicy, but you do notice it.

    • I wans’t sure about how these would taste at first either, but it ended up working great. The cayenne just adds a little bit of spice that really works in these cookies.

    • You could probably skip the cinnamon if you don’t like that. The cayenne adds just a hint of spicy that really adds something to these cookies.

    • I usually use cayenne pepper in curries, but it worked great in these cookies as well. I hand’t heard of it eating it on popcorn, might have to try that once. I made peanut butter cookies today, but I’ll have to look up what peanut butter blossoms are.

    • They turned out great. The cinnamon, cayenne and chocolate made for a great combination. They taste like chocolate cookies with cinnamon and just a hint of spice.
