pierniczki

Wiem, że odbiegam od dosłownego znaczenia, ale w tym kontek¶cie kusiłoby mnie, żeby postawić na potoczysto¶ć i swojskie brzmienie: "Znowu przesadziłe¶ z pierniczkami?"
(Dosłownie rację ma mdarron, to s± ciasteczka imbirowe, w UK również bardzo popularne. Osobi¶cie nie przepadam. :-))

przyprawiane ciasteczka

To tylko podejrzenie, ale użycie słowa "overdoing" plus kontekst Twoich innych pytań skłania mnie do przypuszczeń, że może chodzić o ciasteczka z marihuan± na przykład. Można takie piec :)
Je¶li się mylę, to pozostałe odpowiedzi oczywi¶cie s± dobre.

One recent Sunday, four young women walked up and exclaimed, "The cookie lady!" and asked for cookies. I asked them if they wanted oatmeal-sesame chocolate chip cookies (which contain no marijuana) or the pot gingersnaps. They wanted the pot cookies. They said they smoked pot daily, so I gave them one cookie apiece.

VANCOUVER - A British Columbia woman who makes and sells ginger snaps laced with marijuana has been acquitted of trafficking for a second time, after prosecutors failed to prove the treats contain cannabis resin.
"If the cookies or the brownies or whatever ... have been made in a batter so nobody can identify leaves, sticks or stems through a microscope, then the only way the Crown can get a conviction for possessing a prohibited thing would be if they charged her with possession or trafficking of cannabis [alone], without adding resin or marijuana," he said.
