Halloween Cookies

Author Jacqueline

Ingredients

  • 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Glaze:
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 3 teaspoons milk
  • 2 teaspoons light corn syrup

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in egg and vanilla.
  • Sprinkle salt and baking powder over the top of the mixture and stir in. Slowly add in flour; mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Cover and refrigerate at least two hours.
  • On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/3" thickness. Using cookie cutters, cut out cookie shapes and place on cookie sheet (sprayed with nonstick spray). Return to the fridge for another 20-30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400F. Bake cookies for 6-8 minutes. Until cookies no longer look "wet" in the middle and are lightly golden on the bottom. Leave on cookie sheets for another 5-10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool.
  • Mix together glaze ingredients, tinting with food coloring. Spoon the glaze into small ziplock bags with the corner cut off and apply to cooled cookies. Glaze will be set in 10-15 minutes.
