These cookies leave your kitchen smelling AMAZING. It's the perfect way to bring in the fall season. I first made this recipe last year as a gift for my best friend's wedding (her and her husband got more than just cookies I promise). She got married in November and it was a beautiful fall theme. I also use this recipe at Christmas now as it is a nice change from the classic sugar cookie.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. sugar
1 T. pumpkin pie spice
1 egg
1 T + 1 t. brandy
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 t. baking powder
DIRECTIONS
Cream together butter, sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Add the egg and brandy, mix well. Next mix in the flour and baking powder. Place dough in a bag or wrap in plastic wrap and place in fridge for about 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface. Cut cookies into desired shapes. Bake for 13 minutes. Move to wire rack let cool completely.
ICING
This is an excellent recipe. It is from Woman's Day Magazine.
INGREDIENTS
1 lb. bag of confectioner sugar
1/4 c. powdered egg whites (Just Whites)
1/3 c. water
food coloring
sprinkles optional
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and powdered egg whites. Add the water. Using a mixer on high speed, mix for about 5-8 minutes or until thick and white. Separate icing into separate bowls and add food coloring.
Add more water to thin it, or more powdered sugar to thicken it to your desired consistency if you wish.
* You will need A LOT of red food coloring.
Coat each cookie with different colors. You can use a toothpick and drag it through the different colors to give your cookie a marbled effect. Let dry for at least an hour.
Those look so cool! I will have to try to make them. If that if your picture, you make it look easy
ReplyDeleteAll the pictures I post are my pictures. I only put things on here I make. It is easy. I usually paint a cookie all one color and then dot on the other two colors and drag around the toothpick. It's a fun recipe. :)
