I had some extra dough leftover from a recent cookie order so I made pumpkin shaped cookies to celebrate autumn and Halloween. Now that I look at them they may not be so botanically correct with the green leaf and vines but they still taste good!
Happy Halloween to all the little goblins, ghosts and witches out there!
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a standing mixer with the
paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add
egg and vanilla extract and combine until egg is completely
incorporated. Add flour, baking powder and salt and mix until no trace
of dry ingredients remain.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4" thickness and cut out shapes using cookie cutters.
Bake for about 18 minutes or until golden brown.
