Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 cups flour
- food coloring optional (I use these all-natural gel colors)
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350°F
- In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together.
- Add in the egg, vanilla, and almond and mix well. Add the food coloring now, if desired.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder.
- Add in half the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix.
- Add in the second half of the flour mixture, and mix. The mixture will be dry, but keep mixing and kneading until it's a soft, pliable consistency (like play dough).
- Sprinkle flour on a flat surface, and on top of your ball of dough, and roll it until it's about ¼" - ⅓" thick.
- Cut out your pumpkins using a cookie cutter and place on a cookie sheet that's been sprayed with non-stick spray.
- Add the sprinkles to the tops of the cookies, pressing on the top of the cookie gently to ensure the sprinkles bake into the tops.
- Bake at 350°F for 8-9 minutes.
- Remove the cookies and let them cool on the pan for 5-10 minutes, before removing them and placing them on a cooling rack.
Notes
- Food Dye. Don't use liquid dye. Use gel food coloring for the best results. Liquid can change the consistency of the dough.
- Sticky Dough. If your dough is too sticky, sprinkle a bit of flour over it and knead it some more.
- Sprinkles. A great sprinkle mix will make your cookies gorgeous!!
- Don't Overbake. Eight or nine minutes is all you need to bake these cookies. Don't overbake them!
