Autumn Blaze Cookies Inspired by the Colors of the Season
Colorful cookies celebrate the vibrant hues of the season.
There is nothing more satisfying on a crisp fall day than fresh-from-the-oven cookies, especially when they´re shaped like leaves and acorns, and colored with the hues of autumn.
The unique marbled effect of the cookies is made by coloring portions of cookie dough with seasonal icing colors, then placing the pieces of dough side by side before rolling. Create a three-dimensional effect on the leaf shapes by thinning some dough with water and piping onto the cut-out cookies before baking.
Another easy and eye-catching technique is to dust the cookies with colored sugars and jimmies before baking. Mix and match these techniques to create a bounty of cookies to celebrate the changing season.
These beautiful cookies also make a much appreciated hostess gift, dessert for an autumn dinner party or addition to the Thanksgiving dessert table. Any autumn occasion will be more special with these works of art.
