Candy Corn Fall Cookes

Fall Festivity Extravaganzaaaa (installment 5) continues!! I made these cookies last year and fell in love. The best part about them is that 1 batch makes like, a million cookies! So I can give them out to all my friends or neighbors or whatever. I love that they are bite-sized and not too sugary.... well, they don't taste  too sugary. Anyway, to the recipe....

Don't forget your baking glass of wine!

Ingredients: 

• 2 sticks of butter, softened
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 cup sugar 
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 egg
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice
• 3 cups flour
• yellow food dye
• red food dye 

How To Cook It: 

• beat the butter and sugar together until creamy
• add egg, lemon juice and salt
• add flour and baking soda, beat until mixed thoroughly
• divide the dough into thirds
• press one third of the dough flat into the bottom of a loaf pan
• mix one third of the dough with only yellow food dye
• mix the final third of the dough with yellow and red food dye until you get a nice orange
• place the orange dough evenly over the white dough; repeat with the yellow dough
• cover and freeze for 30 minutes
• once chilled, remove your dough from the pan and cut into strips starting at the short end
• trim the edges if necessary and cut into triangles
• place 1 inch apart on greased cookie sheet
• bake at 375 degrees for 7-10 minutes (I baked mine for only 7 minutes and they came out perfectly)
