Gochugaru Chocolate Chip Cookies

There are a hundred chocolate chip cookies out there, each one a little different from the others. This Chocolate Chip Cookie has Gochugaru in it. Korean pepper flakes. These pepper flakes add a subtle heat. It isn't too much; it is the Goldilocks of heat. Just right.

It is enjoyable, your mouth will not burn. It is one of my Swicy dessert collections. Sweet and spicy in one. Wonderful combination.
