Ingredients:1 cup - Florida Crystals® Organic Cane Sugar
1 cup - butter or margarine, softened
1 - egg
1 tablespoon - vanilla
2 1/4 cups - all purpose flour
1 teasponn - baking soda
Additional Florida Crystals® Organic Cane Sugar
Chocolate glaze:
12 ounces - semi-sweet chocolate
1 1/2 tablespoons - shortening
Chocolate covered candies, pretzel sticks and candy corn
Preparation:Preheat oven to 375°F.
In large bowl, mix sugar and butter. Beat in egg and vanilla until light and fluffy. Mix in flour and baking soda. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour until chilled.
On well floured surface, roll out one-third of dough at a time, to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a hand-shaped cookie cutter, cut out shapes. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and sprinkle with additional Organic Cane Sugar.
Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. Cool on wire rack. Prepare chocolate glaze.
To Prepare Chocolate Glaze:
Place semisweet chocolate and shortening in a heavy saucepan over very low heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate begins to melt. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and stir the chocolate until smooth.
To Decorate:
Place cookies on wire rack over waxed paper. Spread chocolate glaze over cookies. Decorate with candy corn and chocolate covered candies to resemble turkeys. Press two pretzel sticks onto bottom of each turkey for legs.
Makes about 2-3 dozen cookies depending on size of cookie cutter.
Quick Tip:If you don’t have a hand-shaped cookie cutter, trace the outline of a small child’s hand on lightweight cardboard and cut out. Prepare dough and roll out as directed in recipe. Cut out dough using hand-print shape.
