Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) Sugar Cookies
Prep Time20 Minutes
Servings24
Cook Time25 Minutes
Ingredients
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) Bowl & Basket unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup Wholesome Pantry powdered sugar
1/4 cup Wholesome Pantry granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups Bowl & Basket all-purpose flour
Cookie icing in various colors, for decorating
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

 

2. In a large bowl with a hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat butter until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in both sugars and salt and beat again for another 3-4 minutes until pale and fluffy. On the lowest setting, add in flour and stir until dough comes together.

 

3. Place dough in fridge to chill for 15-30 minutes.

 

4. Remove dough from fridge and place on lightly floured surface (be sure it’s GF!). Roll dough out to ½ inch thickness, then use a skull shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Gather dough scraps and repeat until all dough is used. Place cookies on prepared baking sheet, leaving 3/4 inch between each cookie.

 

5. Bake at 300 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until edges begin to brown and are set.

 

6. Let cool on cookie sheets for 10 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely.

 

7. Once cool, use cookie icing to decorate colorful skull patterns and serve!
