Great cookies. They taste almost like a brownie/fudge cookie. I definitely say don't overcook and use the recommended cooking time as they will look a touch wet. I substituted some cocoa powder for the chocolate and used chocolate chunks opposed to chocolate chips as I like they bigger hit they give. GREAT COOKIE!

The cookies themselves were fine, just not my taste. I might make them again, but if you like the taste of chili and chocolate, you will like these cookies.

I haven't tried this yet...but if you want a perfect evening, make these cookies and pop in the movie "Chocolat" - as you watch the movie you will know why you will be craving these cookies!!! :)

I don't understand the people who thought this had a bad "aftertaste"? That aftertaste is the spice! Just like you can still taste a spicy curry dish for a bit afterwards. If you love chocolate, you will love these. And if you love spice, go ahead and add another 1/4 tsp. of cayenne, it doesn't really show up much with just 1/4 tsp. Great recipe!

it was a lot of work to make these..being that i am canadian.i coudln`t find the girahdelli candy bars,so i used Lindt chili pepper laced candy bars,wich kinda made it more somewhat exciting..but once i was done & over with the entire thing..i was somewhat unipressed by the whole thing...i did taste the heat in the roof of my mouth but not to the point it was hot..but to the fact that you`d need a glass of milk to wash these cookies down,,they`re not to bad..but i will NOT be making these again... :(

So these were suggested to me today and I was like, hm, I do enjoy spicy chocolate, I'll make a batch! But I ended up changing A LOT so I gave the original recipe four stars, since I can't really speak for it! I completely omit the kahlua and currants since we had none around the house, Replaced bittersweet chocolate with semisweet chocolate, an extra 1/4 cup of flour (my batter seemed way too thin!) and upped the cinnamon and cayenne to 1/4 teaspoon. I also added 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg since I really enjoy all sorts of spice with my chocolate. Oh! And I halved the amount of chocolate chips. A lot of changes but the result is a delicious spicy soft cakey chocolate chip cookie :)

These were really good. Very chocolatey. The chocolate chips added a nice crunch. These were somewhat spicy, though, which is actually what I wanted, so that was good. Maybe I used more cayenne than this calls for, as I just estimated since the smallest measuring spoon I have is a quarter teaspoon. I don't know, but there was an obvious spiciness to them; everyone who tried them noticed it. But as I said, it's good that they're spicy.
