Fall Spiced Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

• Fall Spiced Sugar Cookies
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3/4 teaspoon ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Icing:
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1/3 cup milk (I was out of milk and used half & half, which worked out unexpectedly well)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
• Combine all ingredients with an electric mixer until smooth.

Instructions:

1. Fall Spiced Sugar Cookies:
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
3. Whisk together the dry ingredients (flour through the nutmeg) in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
4. Cream the sugars and the butter with a wooden spoon or an electric mixer in a large bowl. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
5. Add the dry ingredients and beat at a low speed until dough forms.
6. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface and cut out whatever shapes you want with some cookie cutters. I love sugar cookies to be super thin so I ended up getting close to 3 dozen cookies, but if you make them thick you will probably get about 2 dozen.
7. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are just very slightly browned. Cool and decorate.

9. Combine all ingredients with an electric mixer until smooth.
