Pumpkin Sugar Cookies Buttercream Icing

  • Servings0

Ingredients

Cookies

  • 2 Sticks of Butter - softened
  • 1 cup of Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon of Vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon of Torani Pumpkin Spice Syrup
  • 1 Egg
  • 3 cups of Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon of Baking Powder
  • Orange Food Coloring Gel

FOR THE FROSTING:

  • 4 Tablespoons of Butter - softened
  • 4 ounces of Cream Cheese
  • 4 cups of Powdered Sugar
  • Lime Green Food Coloring Gel
  • Purple Food Coloring Gel
  • Black Food Coloring Gel

Instructions

Frosting:

  1. In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add the softened Butter, and Cream Cheese, and blend to combine.
  2. Add the Powdered sugar a little at a time, blending after each addition, until the Frosting is smooth and fluffy.
  3. Divide the Frosting evenly into two bowls.
  4. Measure 2 Tablespoons of Icing out of each bowl, and add to a third bowl; this will be for the Black icing. Add a few drops of the Green Food Coloring Gel, and stir to blend until the Frosting is bright lime green.
  5. If the Frosting thinned a bit add a Tablespoon of Powdered Sugar, and stir to blend.
  6. In the other bowl, add a few drops of the Purple Food Coloring Gel, and stir to blend. If the Frosting thinned a little, add a Tablespoon of Powdered Sugar, and stir well to blend.
  7. In the third bowl, add a small amount of Black Food Coloring Gel, and stir until blended.
  8. Using Plastic wrap (Glad wrap) tear off a piece about 10 inches wide, and place the Frosting length-wise in the middle of the plastic wrap; it will look like a long ribbon of Frosting.
  9. Do this for the Green, Purple, and Black Frosting, placing the Black frosting in the center.
  10. Then, roll the plastic wrap around the Frosting, making sure to keep it long, or length-wise like a long ribbon.
  11. Snip the end off of the Plastic wrap, on one end only, and place it in a Pastry bag with the large Star Tip.
  12. Pipe the Frosting onto the cookies, using a swirl, and bring it up to a point.
  13. Allow the Frosting to set or firm up a bit, about 30 minutes.
  14. Serve, and Enjoy!

BAKERS NOTE:

  1. THE BLACK FROSTING WILL HAVE LESS FROSTING IN THE BOWL THAN THE GREEN AND PURPLE.
  2. THAT'S OKAY, YOU ONLY WANT A SMALL STREAK OF THE BLACK BETWEEN THE OTHER TWO COLORS.
