Candy Corn Cookies Redux

I was really unsatisfied with my first attempt at candy corn cookies, so I had to try again. This time I ended up more with what I had envisioned. Aren't they cute?


Lucky for me, my crafty sister made these first, and I was able to copy her recipe and idea. Thanks, Leslie!

Sugar Cookies
Mix together well:
3/4 cup shortening (use part butter)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Add:
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Make a double batch of the recipe. Color 1/3 of the dough yellow, 1/3 orange, and leave the rest plain. Evenly layer the dough in a loaf pan. Let it chill completely, then slice thinly and cut into triangles. Bake at 400 degrees 5-6 minutes.

Super easy, super cute, and it makes a ton of little cookies. I didn't want to eat them all, and as I happened to be heading to my folks' house shortly after baking these, I took them along as a trick-or-treat. I think they enjoyed them.
