Tips:

Use High-Quality Chocolate Chips: Opt for semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for a rich and decadent flavor.
Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing can result in tough and dry cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps the flavors to develop and prevents the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
Bake in a Preheated Oven: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking the cookies. This ensures even baking and prevents the cookies from becoming too soft or undercooked.
Don't Overbake the Cookies: Keep a close eye on the cookies while baking. They should be golden brown around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.

These spicy and savory chocolate chip cookies, also known as Sierra Nuggets, are a unique and flavorful twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie. With a combination of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors, these cookies are sure to satisfy your cravings.
