I made this one time and now everyone requests it. So easy to make and so darn good!

This has become an annual favorite for my office's cookie and treat exchange. I use ground chipotle pepper instead of cayenne, and sprinkle extra on before baking.

Gross! They burned, badly, and tasted awful. I used only half the cayenne pepper and they were still very very spicy, with very little sweetness.
