This was a toss up for the rating. Some people liked it, some didn't & some loved it. They taste like a nice soft chocolate chip cookie until a hot kick at the end. One good thing someone pointed out is that at least you can't eat too many! A quote from a 7 year old "That's hot!" (she loved them). Made 33 cookies and they baked for 14 minutes. Made for Holiday Tag.

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
