Apple Cider Sugar Cookies

Remember, remember... the fifth of November...

... as the day I talked about these sugar cookies.

gimmicks. yes!

Being that it is fall, what better than make a seasonal cookie. And not just any cookie, but something in the shape of the cookie's flavor! Fall. Apples. Cider. Apple cider sugar cookies. Perfect? Perfect.

I used a recipe I found on Julianne Hough's website. You know, from Dancing with the Stars. I gotta say, it is a decent recipe and will now be on the baking rotation. Baking these will make your kitchen smell wonderful. The apple cutter is from Michaels, and I went with my tried and true sugar glaze. Used whatever I had leftover from Halloween, so not only did I have Red Delicious looking cookies, but Golden Delicious as well. Next time I make this, I'll try it with boiled cider. I'm thinking it will make for a stronger apple flavor.

Cookie Time

Dough made, rolled out, chilled.

Apple cookies. Fall. In season. 

Happy Halloween

My co-workers are in for a treat! I am on a cookie kick, and I was determined to make something cute for Halloween. I bought all these cutters... need to finally use them. I made vanilla and chocolate sugar cookies. Used a Sweet Sugarbelle triangle multi cutter I bought from Michaels. Decorated them as candy corn using a sugar glaze. I haven't made royal icing yet, but I am going to be biased and stay team glaze. I also used a couple of small Halloween themed cutters and kept those cookies plain. Because I made two batches of dough, I had enough to make for myself and for M to bring in to work. Let's see if he remembers!

I fully expect these cookies to be gone by lunchtime.
