Halloween Cinnamon Sugar Cookies Method
- Place sugar, butter and cinnamon into a bowl and cream to combine fully. You can use a spatula or an electric whisk.
- Add your flour and mix to reach breadcrumb consistency. Using a fork will make this step even easier.
- Once the breadcrumb consistency has been reached, bring the dough together using your hands. You could add some milk if necessary.
- Roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper to about ½ an inch thickness and place in the fridge for 1 hr, or in the freezer for 30 minutes, minimum.
- Cut out your preferred shapes and reroll the dough until it is completely finished.
- Place the cookies further into the fridge until baking.
- Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 175C/Gas mark 4 for 10 minutes or until the edges are just of golden colour. Let the cookies cool down on the tray for about 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to cool down completely.
- Ice with already made icing and have fun with the spooky expressions. Happy Halloween!!!
Bonus recipe Method
- Place the egg whites into a bowl or stand up mixer, whisk until frothy.
- Add your sieved icing sugar a tbsp at the time and combine fully. Once all icing sugar has been added, beat the mixture until preferred consistency.
- Divide the royal icing into smaller groups and add the choice of colours, gel preferred.
- Make sure to add some milk to thin your icing for filling your shapes.
