Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until lightly browned around edges. Cool for 10 - 12 minutes on cookie sheet and then remove to rack.
These are a great little snack and the cayenne pepper adds a little bite to them. They freeze well also.
My friend made these for a bridal shower and they would work for a baby shower too.
