RED HOT CINNAMON SPRITZ COOKIES

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.
