If you love unusual flavor combinations, try these sweet, drop-formed cookies, infused with cinnamon flavor and a pleasant, savory hint of cayenne pepper. These cookies are tinted red for a festive look, as vibrant as their flavor. For a richer color, use gel food coloring. The cookies are piped onto a baking sheet, decorated with silver dragees that will sparkle against the scarlet surface, and baked. A perfect treat for Christmas, New Year, or Chinese New Year.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, and salt.

  3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg, cinnamon extract, and food coloring until smooth. Reduce the mixer speed to low; fold in the flour mixture and knead the dough.
  4. Fill a cookie press with dough according to the manufacturer's instructions. Place cookies 2.5 cm apart on two clean baking sheets. Lightly press silver candies into each cookie.
  5. Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the cookies are firm to the touch, 25-30 minutes. Immediately lift the cookies with a thin spatula and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
