Oh, no , chili with mint is a separate thingie, I just wanted to test how hot and cold food feels together.

Figure chili would be too weird in a cookie. Although black pepper might work curious-sickle

I’ll keep you updated rat-salute

Nah usual ginger cookies, but because I have a small oven, I have to bake in 3 goes, so I try some stuff with them

Cookie report card:

Black pepper works, surprisingly nicely actually, feels like different heat than ginger. (A-)

Mint - kinda meh, cooling effect isn't felt. Althoug smell of mint is felt in breath/roof of mouth, dunno how to describe it, like after minty candy or toothpaste. Maybe i should dump a whole load of it, dunno. But very complicated taste. Maybe if i lost clove and got fresh leafs (or very strong ones) it could work. thonk (B, needs some work, likely complicated balance to find)

Have you created a whole new genre of cookie here?? I've never heard of a pepper cookie, but it sounds awesome and I'd totally try one.

🤩 I'm impressed with your ingenuity! I would never have thought of trying that.

I don't think so, in some recipes i've seen mentions of ginger cookies with pepper soviet-hmm

but it makes sense, ginger has some hotness, different from other hot thingies. Peppermint does as well, so its like shy two spicy things, but differently spicy meow-fiesta
