Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Orange food coloring
- Black decorating gel
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the orange zest, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well.
-
Gradually add the flour and mix until a dough forms. If desired, add a few drops of orange food coloring for a brighter orange hue.
-
Roll the dough into small balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
-
Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon to create a pumpkin shape.
-
Use a knife or toothpick to create small “faces” on the cookies, like eyes, nose, and mouth.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
-
Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Using the black decorating gel, trace over the facial features to make them more defined.
-
Enjoy these adorable orange pumpkin face cookies!
