| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. | Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). |
| 2. | Cream butter and sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and 3/4 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. |
| 3. | Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, black pepper, allspice, and cayenne pepper. |
| 4. | Mix wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, mixing until a uniform batter forms. |
| 5. | Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well incorporated into the batter. |
| 6. | Form dough balls: Using your hands, roll the dough into balls about the width of a quarter. |
| 7. | Add chocolate morsels: Press about 5 chocolate morsels into the center of each dough ball. |
| 8. | Coat in sugar: Roll one rounded side of each dough ball in sugar. |
| 9. | Prepare baking sheets: Line cookie sheets with waxed paper and place the dough balls on the paper, leaving space between each one. |
| 10. | Flatten dough balls: Flatten each dough ball slightly using the bottom of a glass. |
| 11. | Bake: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 8 minutes. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies should be delicate and soft in the center. |
