Coooooookieeeees!!!

I love being in the kitchen- in case you can't tell already- and when it comes to cookies, I almost never follow the recipe. A huge faux-pas, I know, but I like to experiment and jazz things up :)

While in the kitchen today, the cookies I made came out exceptional and I want to share them.

Best-Ever-Secret-Ingredient-Chocochip-Cookies

• Butter, softened- 1 cup
• Sugar - 1/2 cup
• Brown Sugar - 3/4 cup

Lightly cream in mixer.

• Eggs - 2
• Vanilla Extract- 1 Tbsp

Again, mix until creamy.

• Flour - 3 cups
• Salt - 1 tsp
• Baking Soda - 1 tsp
• Secret Ingredient- 1 Tbsp Chili Powder

Mix these four dry ingredients in a separate bowl and add slowly to the wet ingredients, mixing at intervals. Don't dump it all in at once or it'll snow flour in your kitchen!!! And trust me about the chili powder... just maybe don't tell it to the people you're feeding the cookies to until they try cookies and praise them to the skies ;)

Add a package of choco chips (approx 1 cup).

Drop the dough by tablespoons and 2 inches apart on a grease or foil covered cookie sheet.

Bake by 350 degrees for 10-12 mins or until slightly golden brown.

Cool off and enjoy... just don't tell your guests the secret ingredient until you're sure they can handle it ;)
