Witches Brew Halloween Butter Cookies | They literally melt in your mouth!  Add some fun to your HALLOWEEN PARTY by separating the dough and coloring it to make a creepy cookie!  Add dry ice to a Witch’s Cauldron for an added creepy look! NOTE: I mixed together leaf green and lemon yellow food coloring gel to get my electric green color (more yellow than green). Divide dough into three equal amounts (look below for exact amounts).  Add gel food coloring. Roll out each portion of dough between sheets of wax paper. Leave the bottom piece of wax paper on the green dough; take off the top piece of wax paper.  Take off the top and bottom pieces of wax paper on the black dough and place on top of the green dough.  Take off the bottom piece of wax paper of the purple dough and place on top of the black dough.  You should be left with a piece of wax paper on the bottom and top of the dough.  This will help with the rolling process. Use the wax paper to help roll the cookie dough into a jelly roll. 

Completely cover the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish with green, black and purple sprinkles.  dollar curtains keilorRoll log until completely covered.curtains and blinds moruya Prep Time: 30 minutesCook Time: 17 minutesTotal Time: 47 minutesdunelm purple eyelet curtains Yield: Makes 36 Cookiesbutterfly blessings shower curtain at walmart Ingredients2 cups plus 6 tablespoons all purpose flour, divided 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 2/3 cup powdered sugar 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1-1/4 cups butter, softened 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract food coloring (optional) green, yellow, purple, black

So I decided to make my own Soft Beer Pretzels and I am so glad I did! The great thing about these Soft Beer Pretzels is you can use the same recipe to make rolls, and bites. Make several batches and freeze some for later.  I love…love…love how tender the dough is. Pretzels are so easy to make.. Roll each ball into a 24-inch role. Curve ends of rope to form a circle. Lay over opposite side of circle, pinching ends to seal. Boil and bake as instructed below. To Make Pretzel Rolls: Roll each ball into a 14-inch rope.  Starting at one end of rope, loosely wrap dough around itself to form a coil.  Boil, top and bake as directed. To Make Pretzel Bites:  Roll each ball into a 12-inch rope.  Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces.  Boil and top as directed; bake at 400 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.  To Freeze:  Place cooled pretzels in resealable plastic freezer bags.  To use, thaw at room temperature, or if desired microwave each pretzel 20 to 30 seconds or until heated through.
