Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup golden brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon finely ground black pepper (preferably, freshly ground Kampot pepper)
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2½ cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instruction

  • Set oven and prep baking sheets. Preheat the oven to 375°F, and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Make batter. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with the sugars and mix until it's smooth. Then add the egg and mix until it's evenly incorporated.Add the pepper, vanilla, and salt and mix to combine.Add the baking soda to the flour, and gradually mix this into the batter. Mix only until you no longer see any dry areas of flour.Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Shape. Then use a 2 inch cookie scoop to shape the batter into cookies, adding them to the parchment-lined baking sheets as you go. They should have at least 2 inches between them, about 8 per sheet.
  • Bake. Place the baking sheets in the preheated 375°F oven until the cookies are golden brown along the edges, about 12 minutes.
  • Cool. Let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then place them on a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Repeat with the remaining cookie batter, until it's all gone.
