I had these once at Bobby Flay's MESA Grill. They were REALLY good. I tried to adapt the recipe, and mine came out even better. The cayenne is there just to give it a little song to sing. You can add more, if you like. Serve on ice cream, or enjoy with a glass of milk.
Ingredients:
1 cup softened butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups flour, sifted
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus 1 tsp
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, depending on your taste
Directions:
1. MIx together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. With a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3. With the mixture still running, incorporate the flour mixture in small increments. Turn off the mixer, and spoon the dough into a bowl.
4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a few hours.
5. Mix the sugar with the cinnamon and cayenne in a small bowl.
6. Roll the dough into golf-ball sized balls.
7. Roll the balls into the sugar mixture.
8. Bake on a cookie sheet at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes.
9. Enjoy!
