For the next installment of our holiday cookie GrubKit, I decided on a chocolate chip cookie with a kick. This recipe is perfect for the chocaholics out there. It’s decadent, moist with a brownie-like texture and added spice from cinnamon, ancho chili and cayenne.

There is nothing more comforting than the smell of muffins baking in the oven. And even better if there’s chocolate chips with an extra dose of cocoa powder. I love serving these whole wheat muffins for breakfast with coffee or as a snack on-the-go.
