Sweet Treats: Chocolate-Black Pepper Cookies

Nov 11, 2011 Filed under: recipes, sweet treats

It probably won’t shock you that I’m all kinds of crazy about holiday baking. I’ve been known to make over a dozen different kinds of cookies during December and all my relatives know they’ll receive a cookie basket from me. One of my favorite holiday activities is pouring over the recipes in the Martha Stewart Living holiday special edition. A few years ago, one of the treasures I discovered there were these chocolate-black pepper cookies. They are a wonderful combination of chocolate and spicyness. And you can make the dough, roll it into a log and freeze it until you are ready to bake. It’s like your own homemade slice and bake.
