How to Make White Chocolate Chip Habanero Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be stiff.
  6. Stir in 1 cup white chocolate chips and 1-2 finely chopped habanero peppers (remove seeds and membranes for less heat).
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve warm with a cold glass of milk or eggnog and enjoy!
