Acorns & Pumpkins | Tumble Carbohydrate Cookies Alongside Butter Icing

Decorating Fall Sugar Cookies amongst Butter Icing... our novel Old Favorite : )







I'm sharing only about step-by-step photos of how nosotros decorated our Autumn Sugar Cookies this year.  You all know that carbohydrate cookies are a seasonal staple at our house.  For a long time, I exclusively used Royal Icing - peculiarly when I was catering because it hardened nicely for packaging too looked shiny too professional.

Now that our cookies are to a greater extent than oft than non for eating too giving, I convey switched dorsum to my outset beloved - butter icing.  It was what my Mom made when nosotros were petty too decorated cookies every Valentine's, Halloween & Christmas.  In the spring, I shared only about other version of a butter icing that was to a greater extent than of a glaze.  This is a petty to a greater extent than buttery.  Not exclusively does it convey an amazing creamy flavor, but the butter keeps the cookies soft.  It is hardly a recipe, but hither you lot instruct : )

Butter Icing

1 stick of butter
1/4 loving cup of milk
3-4 cups of confectioners sugar

Melt butter too milk together inwards the microwave.  Stir inwards confectioners sugar.  Add to a greater extent than milk to thin, or to a greater extent than confectioners carbohydrate to thicken.





 

 Here are our Acorn cookies ready for decorating.

Start amongst the tops - I used a nighttime green, but you lot tin post away purpose the same color every bit the trunk of the acorn, too.

And, hither I kind of skipped a stride - produce the Chocolate Sprinkles on the even thus moisture tops, thus fill upwards inwards amongst the calorie-free brownish on the bottom too stem.  I've packaged the Chocolate Sprinkles ($10) inwards my Large Glass Spice Jars, only every bit I convey done for my other sugars too sprinkles.

For the pumpkin, I endeavour to brand the spreading lines follow that of a pumpkin to hand it only about natural looking texture.

We invited only about of Emma's friends over for cookie decorating inwards the afternoon, thus nosotros spent the morning time rolling, cutting too and baking.

I ready the tabular array for their decorating station.  I seat out parchment newspaper sheets to hand them a function surface, too had all of the icings ready to instruct inwards bags for slow decorating too build clean up.

Emma had to produce a duo of samples earlier her friends arrived.

And gustation a duo of samples.

You powerfulness think her signature squiggle pile of icing from her birthday party!

So, are you lot a regal icing fan or a butter icing?  Our local bakery does a actually soft too creamy cream cheese frosting on their carbohydrate cookies... I intend I'll convey to endeavour to recreate those too.  Hope you lot are all enjoying only about beautiful mild weather.  We're heading to the pumpkin spell this morning time amongst Emma's "Best Cousins" Sam too Kate.  Happy early on weekend!  Let the Fall festivities commence : )
