It happened.
I probably could have used more sriracha. It ended up being similar to the effect that @DeusQain mentioned, with the slight aftertaste, where in my case they tasted afterwards like I had eaten something hot a five or ten minutes ago, not that powerful. I thought I noticed a tiny hint of chili in there too, but it was hardly noticeable.
I based it off of a family recipe, which I'll put below. They ended up being fantastic - I even got my mom to try one, even though it has sriracha in it, and she said that I was surpassing her in cookiemaking skills. :D Sounds like something to go on a resume.
Props to @ryokeen for spiciness tips:

My version:
Sriracha Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Mix together:
- 2 cups butter softened
- 3/2 cups granulated sugar (1 + 1/2)
- 3/2 cups brown sugar (1 + 1/2)
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbsp sriracha
Then:
- 9/2 cups of flour (4 + 1/2)
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 dashes cayenne pepper
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
Bake at 375 for 9-11 minutes
(makes roughly 60 cookies)
