For a more intense chili flavor, use a pinch of chili powder in addition to the cayenne pepper. The coffee liqueur can be substituted with strong brewed coffee or espresso if desired. Be careful not to overbake the cookies; they should be slightly soft in the center when removed from the oven. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
