Oh my god, these are the best cookies. You wouldn't think so with the black pepper, but it's not enough to notice. You can just get a little hint of something there that zings. Try these. I first cooked these in '06. Awesome.

I made these today for a Cinco de Mayo party we hosted. They were awesome, and everyone commented on how delicious they were. Definitely will make them again. I used cayenne pepper instead of the black pepper. -
I used the Lindt chocolate with chile pepper in it and they were FABULOUS. Rich, sophisticated, yummy! -
I used red chile powder instead of black pepper and I was incredibly generous with the cinnamon. My mix was a little thin and the first pan of cookies came out super thin and crunchy, so I added some extra flour to the rest of the batter for more substantial cookies. Yum! -
Awesome! Have made these many times before, Be sure to use good quality dark chocolate like Lindt with high coco content-really makes a difference
