Pumpkin Spice Roll-Out Sugar Cookies
(recipe by Nicole Cleghorn)  http://lifesabatch.com/?p=1013

Gorgeous and delicious....I tried these cookies and loved them. Thanks Nicole. I will be back to see what other goodies you have.

         Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup turbinado sugar
• 3/4 tsp. baking powder
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 2-1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
• 1 egg
• 1 Tbsp. milk
• 2-3/4 cups whole wheat flour

Directions 

Cream together the butter and brown sugar until light & fluffy (about 3-4 minutes on medium speed). Add in the turbinado sugar, and cream for an extra minute or so. Add the baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice; mix well.

Add the egg & milk; beat well. Add the flour, mixing until well-combined. The dough should be soft & not sticky. Turn out onto sheets of waxed paper & roll. Cut out shapes, and transfer to baking sheets lined with parchment paper or Silpat liners. Freeze sheets for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 365°. Remove cookies from freezer and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges begin to have a hint of brown. Cool cookies on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Decorate with royal icing, if desired. These are FABULOUS plain, too!
