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
I’ll keep you updated
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
your experiments sound fun, I'm excited to see what happens this weekend – thank you!!
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.
(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
but it makes sense, ginger has some hotness, different from other hot thingies. Peppermint does as well, so its like
two spicy things, but differently spicy
