My department has many favorite Cookie Thursday is a Thing cookies.
Some people prefer the triple pepper thumbprints. This is a cheddar cookie with triple pepper jelly in the thumbprint.
Some people go ga-ga for the Chex Mix that I make in December. I know that one is a fan favorite because when I go back for the tin it is emptied in record time.
Some people are partial to the OG CTIAT cookie. I made Twix cookies, both caramel and peanut butter.
Others are partial to the fruitcake cookie. Again in December.
But the overwhelming favorite of the department is the Jalapeño Chocolate Chip Cookie.
Even if jalapeños have been decreasing on the Scoville Scale for years as farmers’ practice natural selection for a milder pepper.
The point is that you never know how spicy the pepper will be until you cut it up and use it.
My garden has been sad, sad, sad this summer.
This is probably due to the the June heatwave. Or the over abundance of water because of thunderstorms. Or the wildlife.
Who knows.
I asked my husband last night what cookie I should make for CTIAT today.
To my surprise he said the Jalapeño Chocolate Chip.
He hates this cookie. But wanted me to make it today. So I did.
At least some of my coworkers were happy when I told them the cookie of the day.
