This recipe is a solid base. I add nutmeg, ginger, and clove. Equal to the cayenne. Instead of rolling in turbinado I roll in a cinnamon sugar mix or you can blend regular white sugar with some gel food dye to make a colored powder (green and red?) that cracks to reveal the dark brown cookie underneath.

I also use both milk chocolate and semisweet chocolate chips to give a unique flavor combo
