Spiced Up Sugar Cookies

The Christmas Cookie Project

Day 3

Spiced Up Sugar Cookies

Sugar Cookies are such holiday standards but I always like a modern twist on a classic. This recipe takes classic sugar cookies and spices them up with a burst of flavor on the bottom. You could probably even use store bought cookies to do this and still get homemade credit! 

1 small tube of refrigerated sugar cookie dough

(or enough to make 24 cookies) 

1 tsp apple pie spice 

(or pumpkin pie seasoning, or cinnamon sugar mixture)

2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted) 

large cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray

pastry brush

pre-heat oven to 350

place pieces of dough 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet

bake for approx. 12 minutes

while cookies are baking, melt butter

mix spices into butter

just before cookies are completely cooled, brush the bottom of the cookies with the spiced butter mixture with a pastry brush


Enjoy.........cause Christmas Calories Don't Count!! 

ALTERNATE IDEA: 

Add a few drops of vanilla to your butter mixture for a super rich flavor!
