I bought a leaf shaped cookie cutter before Halloween and didn't find time to use it until yesterday. We made sugar cookies, frosted them and brought them to share with the kids at both of our Thanksgiving celebrations yesterday.
While the cookies were in the oven we made the frosting.
We picked orange, yellow and green for fall leaves. I love frosting sugar cookies. I made 1 big batch of frosting and separated it into sandwich size bags. I add a different color of food coloring to each bag.
My little helper loves to "squish" the food coloring around in the bag until the entire bag of frosting has turned to the color we desire.
Once the color is perfect I cut one corner of the bag and then squeeze the frosting into individual plastic bottles.
I make a line around the outside of the cookie and then fill it in with slightly thinner frosting in the middle. My little helper added a few sprinkles to the cookies today too.
We ended up with cookies like this...these were the extras but I forgot to take a picture all the finished cookies before we gave them away.
