Here's the cookie recipe. I posted it once before after the Fallston
Hotluck so I did not post it again.

Southwestern Sugar Cookies
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon (or more, I just up-end the bottle and
give it a couple of shakes)
1 well-rounded teaspoon ground Mombassa pepper (or more)
Cream butter in a large mixing bowl; add sugar, beating until light and
fluffy. Add egg, vanilla and cinnamon extract, mixing well.
Combine flour, soda, salt, ground cinnamon and ground pepper, mix well and
add to creamed mixture, blending well. (Dough will be very stiff)
Divide dough into thirds; roll each portion to 1/8 inch thickness on lightly
floured waxed paper. Cut with desired cutters, and place 2 inches apart on
lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes or until
lightly browned. I found 6 minutes to work best in my oven. Remove to wire
rack to cool.
Yield about 5 dozen.
