Ingredients for Halloween Cookies

Cookie Dough:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

Icing:

• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Food coloring (black, orange, green)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until well combined.
3. Divide the dough into 3 equal parts and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters in Halloween shapes (such as ghosts, bats, pumpkins) to cut out the cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a small bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the icing. Divide the icing into 3 separate bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to each to create black, orange, and green icing.
8. Use a pastry bag or a ziplock bag with a small corner cut off to pipe the icing onto the cooled cookies, creating spooky designs and faces.
9. Let the icing set before serving and enjoying your delicious and easy Halloween cookies!
