Excerpt
Mayan Mystery Cookies
Source: Postcard mailing, Fleet Bank Cook: Pat Tillinghast
At New Rivers restaurant in Providence, Rhode Island, these cookies first appeared in a lunchtime cookie basket and quickly rocketed to local fame. Clearly there’s a mystery ingredient here that makes them so good, and their creator offered a free cookie basket to whoever guessed it. But only two people ever did (one of them Julia Child’s associate, Nancy Verde Barr). As you can see, it’s cayenne pepper, partnered with its alluring Mexican companion, chocolate.
As Chef Bruce Tillinghast explains, every other item on the menu changes from time to time but not these cookies created by his late wife.
Makes about 60 cookies 3/4 cup (11/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature 3/4 cup sugar, plus more for rolling 11/2 cups all-purpose flour 11/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon finely (and freshly) ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 3/4 cup cocoa 1 large egg 11/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract Semisweet chocolate morsels
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Cream the butter and the 3/4 cup sugar in a food processor. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, spices and cocoa in a medium bowl and add to the butter mixture. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until the batter is uniform.
Chill the dough for at least 1 hour.
Using your hands, roll the dough into balls about the width of a quarter and tuck about 5 chocolate morsels into the center of each one. Put some sugar on a flat plate and roll the balls in the sugar to cover lightly.
Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and place the balls on the sheets.
Bake for 8 minutes, being careful not to overbake; the cookies should be delicate and soft in the center. Let cool on the cookie sheets. Store the cookies in an airtight container, separating the layers with sheets of wax paper.

Media reviews
"This compilation of recipes from chefs (Jean-Georges Vongerichten; David Waltuck, etc), personalities(such as Jamie Oliver and Bobby Flay) and magazine recipes isn't just random selection: it's a unique way to see what's currently happening in American food...The common denominator is comfort food, simple but sophisticated takes on American regional favorites that taste wonderful, look gorgeous ("We all have our inner Martha," writes editor McCullough, the author of Living Low-Carb) and are relatively easy to prepare. Mix and match menus as well as suggested wine pairings add to the fun. A delicious and delectable addition to any cookbook collection, this volume will be well-thumbed in no time." Publishers Weekly
