Ingredients
For the cookies
- 100 g butter
- 100 g sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 g plain flour
For the red sugar paste
- 200 g icing sugar
- 2 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon red food colouring (I used paste)
Instructions
- To make the base, cream the butter and sugar together, add the egg and mix well to incorporate.
- Add the vanilla extract and sugar, and knead to form a dough.
- Cover the dough in clingfilm, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Use a rolling pin to roll the dough, and use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out rounds - I cut out 15, but you can get more or less depending on the size of the cutter.
- Arrange the circles on a baking tray lined with non-stick paper and refrigerate again for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes until the edges are slightly light brown and still a bit soft.
- Leave to cool completely to firm up.
- To make the sugar paste, sift the icing sugar, add the milk and vanilla extract, and mix to get a smooth paste.
- Divide it between 2 bowls, one will stay white, the other half will have the red food colouring added to it to create a red paste.
- Add the white paste to a piping bag, and decorate each cookie, then use a teaspoon to splatter the red paste over.
Notes
- Do add the icing as soon as you make it, as it sets pretty quick and they it's not easy to spread. If you don't have a piping bag, just use a spoon, it's not a big deal.
- And there you have, some nice Halloween treats to bake with your kids - they do love getting messing, and this recipe is just what you need to keep them busy.
- Click on the US Customary link to see the measurements displayed in cups and ounces.
- The servings can be adjusted by clicking the number next to Servings.
- These sugar cookies are the easiest to make. The base is firm enough not to crumble easily, and the paste is very easy to spread, and it sets nicely. You can get as creative as you wish with these cookies, and decorate them the way you like them for any celebration.
- Use different cookie cutters and you get whatever shape and design you want, I used the base for my Christmas Iced Sugar Cookies and made some festive treats.
- You can also decorate them for Easter, Valentine's Day and any other celebration. As long as you have the base and icing, the sky is the limit when it comes to decorating.
