I'm so excited that fall is finally here. I wanted to make a colorful fall leaf cookie for the salon so I have used my favorite sugar cookie recipe, White Velvet, and divided the dough into four sections coloring each section with the fall colors. It's a little tricky to work with colored dough, but the results are well worth the extra steps. You can make the leaf cookies either one color, or combine pieces of each color to get a colorful fall leaf. I brushed a clear glaze over the cookies to give them a shiny finish. Enjoy! Ingredients 2 cups butter, softened 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened 2 cups sugar 2 large egg yolks 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour Food coloring – yellow, orange, green, brown or your choice
To make multi color leaves: pinch off a section of each color dough and carefully combine to get a marbled effect. Roll out dough to ¼-in. thickness and cut with cookie cutter. Optional glaze: Combine 1 cup powdered sugar and 1/4 cup water. Stir until completely dissolved and translucent. Add more water if needed. Using a pastry brush, gently brush the top of each cooled cookie and allow to set up at room temperature until the glaze is hard.
