Fall Sugar Cookies
I have been making these for years, they are the perfect treat to celebrate the fall season. Simple to make, but a little time consuming. Mix up your favorite sugar cookie dough. Divide into 3 - 4 sections (depending on how many colors you use). Add food gel colors to the dough (I like the food gel colors, rather than plain food coloring, because the colors come out more vibrant and brighter).
I made yellow, orange, red and brown
Take a few handfuls of each dough color and roll them out together on a lightly floured surface. Use leaf shaped or acorn shaped cookie cutters. Then sprinkle with a little sugar. I used brownish gold glittery sugar crystals that I found at the candy/cake store.
Don't they almost look too pretty to eat?
Almost.....
My kids pounced on them the minute they got home from school.
They are a bunch of lucky sons of guns, Aren't they?

I love the idea of the different color dough. Thanks for idea!
SO lucky! They came out great.
They ARE very lucky!!! I'd probably mess these up if I tried making them.
That is so creative for fall. Looking forward to make some for the family:)

We love sugar cookies around here and this is a fun idea. Your kids are indeed very lucky and they'll realize it when they're making cute fall cookies for kids of their own somewhere down the line!

They are very lucky. They might not realize it yet. (At least you have a blog of it that they can look back on, right?) I grew up w/ a mom that made us homeade treats but I never realized how lucky I was until I was a mom myself and realized how much work this mommy gig is!
What a great idea! I am going to try this idea this weekend!
Well, I tried them. They did not look as pretty as yours but they tasted great! No worries though- my college kids came and got them and I didn't get one single complaint about the looks! Thanks for the idea!
