Peanut Butter Sriracha Cookies recipe

This sounds like something I need to make this holiday season. All too often, I hear people comment, “Oh, man! Sriracha makes everything better… except desserts.” Time to get your horizons widened and your mind blown. My book has recipes for Peach-Sriracha Sorbet and Spiced Sriracha Truffles, but this recipe for Peanut Butter Sriracha Cookies from The Sugar Pixie is nothing short of pure genius.

An early test batch was deemed too hot. I know what you’re thinking — “Too… hot? What does that even mean? Does not compute.” — but trying to scale back the rooster sauce actually inspired further genius:

I wanted to see if I could tone down the heat and maybe add some extra flavor. So we tried the cookies with a bit of Nutella on them and they were equally excellent, so maybe if you’re looking to cut the heat try adding some mini-chocolate chips to the batter. Marshmallow fluff in the middle? The ideas are endless!

I’m also curious to try this with almond butter or cashew butter. Whatever goes into it, it’s going to be an absolute pleasure showing all my doubtful friends just how friggin awesome Sriracha can be in desserts!
