My Tips for Soft & Spicy Perfection
- Chill the dough for 20 minutes if you want thicker drops.
- Use coarse sugar for rolling for extra crunch and sparkle!
- Don’t overbake—cookies should be soft in the center when coming out of the oven.
- For extra zing, add a pinch of cloves or black pepper to the spice mix.
