For a more intense red hot flavor, pulse a few red hot candies in a food processor and add them to the dry ingredients. Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Feel free to experiment with different shapes and candy arrangements to personalize your cookies. For a festive twist, drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled cookies and sprinkle with crushed red hot candies.
