Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1.25 cups White chocolate chips
• 1 medium Fresh habanero pepper, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon Whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on a low speed until just combined.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the minced habanero pepper with the tablespoon of milk. Stir this mixture into the cookie dough to evenly distribute the spice.

Step 7

Fold in the white chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 8

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve the cookies once cooled or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
