Leaf Cookies

Since we have been working on the letter L we made some very delicious leaf cookies!! :)
They turned out sooo yummy and the kids loved being a part of the baking process and cutting out the cookies.
Our finished leaf cookies
 
RECIPE:
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Combine dry ingredients, set aside.
With mixer on low speed, beat butter and sugar until blended. Increase speed to high, beat until light and fluffy, 5 minutes. On low speed, beat in eggs and vanilla until mixed, then beat in flour, just until blended. Shape dough into four equal disks.
Add a different autumnal color to each disk.
Wrap and refrigerate overnight, or freeze until firm enough to roll, at least 2 hours.
Rollout and cut out shapes, put on greased cookie sheet
Bake @ 350 for 12-15 min.
