• In a separate bowl, beat butter with brown sugar on medium-highspeed until light and fluffy, about3 minutes. Beat in egg and vanillauntil well combined. Reduce speedto low and beat in flour mixture untiljust incorporated. Stir in chocolate.
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls(each 1 heaping tablespoon).Gently roll each in turbinado sugarto coat; place 2 inches aparton parchment-lined baking sheets.Bake until surfaces crack slightly,11 to 14 minutes. Let cool 5 minuteson sheets, then transfer to awire rack and let cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Beat 1 1/2 cups sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl until fluffy. Beat in eggs; add cream of tartar and baking soda. Beat in cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and cayenne powder. Beat in flour. Stir chocolate chips into the dough.
• Mix remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl.
• Roll heaping tablespoons of dough into balls. Roll balls in the sugar-cinnamon mixture and place on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until centers are set and edges crack slightly, about 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa, cinnamon, cayenne, salt and pepper.
• In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until light and fluffy.
• Slowly add the dry ingredients until they are fully blended into the dough and no traces of the flour mix remain.
• Divide the dough in two and roll each half into a log that's 9 inches long. Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap and place in the freezer overnight or a minimum eight hours (if you're not interested in baking the whole batch at once, the dough will keep up to six weeks in the freezer).
• Having been frozen, the dough will require a small amount of effort to cut through. With a sharp knife, cut 1/3" cookies from the dough. Bake at 375° F for 8-10 minutes or until edges are firm. Allow cookies to cool 30 seconds to a minute then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Mix together first 6 ingredients and set aside.
• Cream shortening, sugars and vanilla until well mixed.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Add flour mixture slowly and beat well.
• Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts by hand.
• Drop dough by tablespoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or just until cookies brown.
• Cool cookies on baking sheet for two minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Whisk 1/2 cup white sugar, melted butter, and brown sugar together in a large bowl. Add pumpkin puree and vanilla extract; whisk until smooth.
• Combine flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
• Mix flour mixture into the sugar-butter mixture; stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips gently. Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat® baking mat.
• Roll 1 1/2 tablespoons of chilled dough into a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Combine the remaining 1/2 cup white sugar, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Roll dough balls completely in the spicy cinnamon-sugar. Place on the prepared baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart, and slightly flatten the tops.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden and cookies appear under-baked, about 9 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately place candy-coated chocolate pieces on top. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
