In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or a stand mixer.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well incorporated into the butter and sugar mixture.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.

Stir in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.
-
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, these Chocolate Pepper Cookies are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh for days.
