Time 1h30m

Yield About 72 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 sticks (10 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon cinnamon extract
2 teaspoons red gel food coloring
Silver dragées, for decorating

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 300 degrees F.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, cayenne and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg, cinnamon extract and food coloring until smooth. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the flour mixture until combined.
  • Fill a cookie press with the dough according to the manufacturers' instructions. Press cookies 1 inch apart onto 2 unlined baking sheets. Lightly press silver dragées into each.
  • Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are firm to the touch, 25 to 30 minutes. Loosen the cookies immediately with a thin spatula and transfer to a rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
