Diablo Cookies

I have discovered a new love...Cooking Channel TV! I just recently had oral surgery, so I had a lot of time to hang out and watch television. Of course, I felt the need to torture myself with food that I couldn't eat. One of my new favorite shows is called Eat Street.
It featured a food truck called TacoFino, and they made these cookies called Diablo cookies.

These cookies are a brownie-type cookie with a crisp exterior, and a fudgy interior. They have the combination of chocolate and cayenne pepper which makes them interesting, and a sprinkling of sea salt.. which cannot be left out! The salt really brings out the chocolaty goodness!

My kids ate them up surprisingly! Addison said, "YUM mom, these are good, but spicy.. can I have another one??" She's 3, so if she can handle it, so can you! Go ahead, I know you've been feeling devilish!:)
