For the most part, this takes the simple dough ratio for chocolate chip cookies and adds more spices to it. By itself, cinnamon and chocolate chips don't taste that great together. But with a hint of cayenne pepper, the subtle element of heat is added to an otherwise benign sweet snack.

2 c. unbleached all-purpose flour
2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c. unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces

1/4 tsp sea salt
