THANKSGIVING SUGAR COOKIE RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Bake cookies as directed on roll or package. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
• Spoon chocolate frosting into 1-quart freezer storage bag; seal bag. Cut off tiny bottom corner of bag. On each cookie, pipe frosting on outer edge of half of cookie. Arrange candy corn over frosting for feathers.
• Pipe orange icing onto each cookie to resemble turkey face and feet. Use orange icing to attach baking bits to turkey face for eyes. Pipe black gel on baking bits for centers of eyes.

Steps:

• On the work surface, make a mound of the flours, powdered sugar, and a pinch of lemon zest. Make a well in the center and break the egg into the well. Dot the butter around the edge of the well. Using a knife, chop the mixture together, then quickly work into a smooth dough by hand. Wrap the dough in cling wrap and chill for around 1 hour.
• Heat the oven to 400°F,  and line a baking tray with grease-proof paper.
• Roll the dough out on a floured surface to a thickness of approx. 1/8th-inch. Cut out circles and squares as desired and place on the baking tray. Bake in the center of the oven for around 12 minutes until straw-colored, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• To decorate, stir together the icing sugar and lemon juice to form a thick icing. Put part of the icing in a separate bowl and add coloring. Ice the cookies with white or orange icing and leave to dry.
• Spoon the remaining icing into a piping bag and decorate the cookies as desired. Sprinkle with sugar and leave to dry again.
