Fall Sugar Cookies

Autumn Sugar Cookies

While preparing a recipe for peach bread (that is also good in autumn), I realized I could change the bread dough and create a drop sugar cookie dough that would be perfect in the autumn and for the holidays.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1-2 tablespoons cinnamon (depending on ones preference)
• 1/2 teapsoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• about 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ginger (optional)
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons softened butter
• 1 egg

Directions:

1. Prehat oven to 350.
2. Combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, ginger, and salt in a medium bowl, set aside.
3. Place the white sugar, brown sugar, softened butter, and egg in a mixing bowl and mix on medium for about 1 minute.
4. Pour in the remaining ingredients and mix on medium for 1 minute till combined.
5. Form teaspoon size balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
6. Cook for 10-12 minutes. Let cool for 2 minutes before placing on a cookie rack.

These would be great with some hot tea or apple cider on a lovely fall day.
