Mastercook


List of Ingredients




1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine -- softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
4 cups Bisquick® Original baking mix
11 drops yellow food color
7 drops red food color
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
Egg Yolk Paint -- (recipe follows)
EGG YOLK PAINT
1 egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon water
Food colors


Recipe



Beat powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs in large bowl with electric
mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in baking mix until soft
dough forms. Divide dough in half. Mix yellow and red food colors into 1
half to make orange dough; mix cocoa into other half to make chocolate
dough. Cover and refrigerate doughs separately 1 to 2 hours or until chilled.

Heat oven to 400º. Roll one-fourth of the dough at a time 1/8 inch thick on
floured cloth-covered surface. (Keep remaining dough refrigerated until
ready to roll.) Cut orange dough with 2- to 3-inch pumpkin-shaped cookie
cutter and chocolate dough with medium-size cat-shaped cookie cutter. Place
1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

Prepare Egg Yolk Paint. Paint faces on pumpkins and cats. Bake 5 to 7
minutes or until edges are light brown. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.

EGG YOLK PAINT:

Mix egg yolk and water. Divide mixture among a few small custard cups. Tint
each with a different food color. If paint thickens while standing, stir in
a few drops water.


YIELD: 6 to 7 dozen cookies
