AUTUMN BUTTER COOKIES
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Red, yellow or orange-color sugar crystals (optional)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Beat in egg and vanilla. Mix in flour and baking powder 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition. The dough will be very stiff; blend last of the flour in by hand (if dough becomes too stiff to work, add water, a little at a time). Do not chill dough.
Divide dough into 2 balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a circle about 12-inches in diameter and 1/8-inch thick. Cut into leaf and acorn shapes as desired, dipping cookie cutters or knife into flour before each use. If desired, sprinkle colored sugar crystals on top of some of the dough shapes.
Bake cookies on an ungreased baking sheet for 6 to 7 minutes, or until cookies are lightly browned.
Makes 24 cookies
