Making the Dough
To start, gather your ingredients: butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper. Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, then add in the eggs and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a thick dough forms. Next, add in the black pepper, starting with a small amount and adjusting to taste. The pepper should add a subtle heat to the dough without overpowering the other flavors.
Shaping and Baking
Once the dough is well mixed, it's time to shape the cookies. Roll the dough into small balls and place them on a greased baking sheet. Use a fork to press down on the balls, creating a crisscross pattern on the top of each cookie. This will also help to flatten the cookies slightly. Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly firm.
Serving and Storage
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These South African chocolate pepper cookies are best served warm, with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. They can also be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. To really bring out the flavors, pop them in the microwave for a few seconds before enjoying.
Experiment with Different Peppers
While black pepper is the traditional choice for this recipe, don't be afraid to experiment with different types of peppers.
