Just like adding a pinch of salt to dessert recipes makes them even sweeter and more delicious, the addition of pepper in this cookie really makes the chocolate even more chocolaty. The cookies aren't really spicy, but you can definitely tell something strange and wonderful is happening.

Yes, you did read it correctly - these biscuits have chili powder in them!! Try them and see what you think - I get a mixed reaction when I make them, but they are certainly a talking point, and you can taste the chili powder in them. Recipe comes from a NZ Home and Garden magazine with the title Sugar 'n Spice, Zesty Meals.
