South african chocolate pepper cookies
Cookies
Text and recipe from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Where-Flavor-Was-Born-Culinary/dp/0811849651?tag=food52-20">Where Flavor Was Born by Andreas Viestad</a href> (Chronicle, 2007). <br /> <br />"I grew addicted to chocolate pepper cookies when I was staying in Cape Town while writing this book. The addition of a generous amount of coarsely ground black pepper gives the cookies real attitude and a nice peppery flavor: At the same time, the pepper also works as a flavor enhancer, so the cookies actually taste more chocolatey. <br /> <br />"The secret is to find the right balance between sweet chocolate and pungent pepper. I like the cookies rather on the peppery side. Start by adding a little pepper and make one small batch to sample, then add more pepper to taste."
