Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup  brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (see note)
  • 1 12-ounce package semisweet chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Beat the butter and sugar in large bowl until fluffy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time, then beat in the vanilla.
  2. Whisk the  next 6 ingredients together and then add to the butter mixture, beating until just blended.  Mix in chocolate chips.
  3. Put the dough in the fridge until it is cold, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F and line cookie sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper. Drop tablespoonfuls of the dough onto sheets about 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake cookies until golden brown but still soft to touch, about 10 minutes.  Cool for a few minutes, then place cookies on racks and cool.

Notes

If you want to really add some zing, you can increase the cayenne pepper to 1/2 teaspoon!
