Classic fork-pressed peanut butter cookies with brown sugar and chopped salted peanuts, plus a teaspoon of cayenne for a warm kick behind the sweet, nutty bite.

Feel free to experiment with the type of chili pepper powder used. Cayenne pepper packs a strong medium heat with a more neutral flavor. If you prefer a milder spicy cookie try chipotle powder (low-medium heat) or ancho powder (mild heat). Both also give a little smokiness to the cookie. If you prefer a much hotter cookie (for the extreme eaters out there), habanero powder also works.
