These simple cookies come out smooth and delicious. You can use them to decorate with icing or leave them undecorated.

I will say one thing - they are really tasty.

Shortbread Pumpkin biscuits (under painting)

Yield: 20 pieces

Ingredients

Pumpkin biscuits

210 gr flour
100 gr powdered sugar
100 gr butter
75 pumpkin puree
30 gr liquid honey
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, cloves - optional

Instructions

Cooking: Beat butter with powdered sugar until soft airy consistency, add honey and pumpkin puree. Mix until smooth.

Mix flour, spices, soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Add dry ingredients to pumpkin mass, and knead quickly. Place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Put the dough on a baking sheet sprinkled with flour, and roll out the dough between 2 wooden skewers - so that the thickness is no more than 0.3 cm

Cut out figurines. Remove excess dough.

The dough is soft. That is why I advise you to cut and roll out immediately on baking paper, and not transfer to it ... since the shape of the cookie is deformed during transfer.

Cookies in the form of hares and moss around. Hare-shaped cookies lie on a wooden surface in a wooden tray. There is moss and fern around - they imitate being in the forest. At the top of the frame is a real mushroom, which enhances the feeling of the forest around.

Bake at 180 degrees for 6-7 minutes.

The cookies should be lightly browned on the bottom, from above light color. If the edges are browned, you've probably overcooked...

If necessary - if the cookies are a little puffed up - immediately after baking, you can press on the cookies with a cutting board (not too much please). So their surface will become even and smooth. My cookies were perfectly even on top and barely changed in shape.
