THE cookie

i have been making this certain cookie for three years or so -
( They are Francine's favorite )
and not very often - I call it an adult cookie
because its sort of sophisticated on the palate

i think of all the times i've made it - only once was the original
recipe - it is a interesting cookie
it is a spicy chocolate coffee cookie

it has cinnamon, cayenne and black pepper - bitter sweet chocolate chips and roughly chopped coffee beans - that is the original recipe

the last time i made them i substituted chipotle chili powder and semi sweet chocolate chips -


the next time which may be friday i want to switch out the chipotle powder
with aleppo pepper - my new favorite ingredient - its a crushed pepper from Syria

so not that the recipe is guarded but it is -
its my only truly " signature " recipe
that i make once a year .
