How to Make Habanero And Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ½ cup vegetable oil using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add 1 cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
Stir in the zest of 1 large orange and finely minced habanero pepper (remove seeds for less heat, use gloves!). Start with 1/4 teaspoon and adjust to your spice preference.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your fiery, delicious cookies!
