Today, I'm bringing an absolute triumph of autumn baking straight to your kitchen with these gorgeous Autumn Candy Cornucopia Leaf Cookies! Just take a look at the photograph above, showcasing delightful cookies shaped like corn husks and ears of corn, decorated with smooth peanut butter frosting and colorful candy pieces. These are perfect for a joyful family gathering. **Recipe Details** Servings: 4 to 6 people Prep Time: 40 minutes Bake Time: 12 minutes Total Time: 52 minutes **Full Ingredient List** * 2.5 cups all-purpose flour * 0.5 tsp baking powder * 0.25 tsp salt * 1 cup unsalted butter, softened * 1 cup granulated sugar * 1 large egg * 1 tsp vanilla extract * 1.5 cups creamy peanut butter frosting * 1.5 cups colorful candy-coated chocolate pieces (in brown, yellow, and orange) **Detailed Instructions** 1. **Mix the Dough:** In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg and vanilla extract. 2. **Combine and Shape:** Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until a cohesive dough forms. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into leaf and ear of corn shapes using cookie cutters or a sharp knife. 3. **Bake:** Place the cutouts on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. Remove and let cool completely. 4. **Decorate:** Pipe or spread the creamy peanut butter frosting onto the cookies, creating textured husk details on the leaf portions and a smooth base for the corn kernels. Press the brown, yellow, and orange candy pieces closely together onto the corn sections to form the kernels. 5. **Set and Serve:** Let the frosting and candies set for 15 minutes, then arrange on a festive platter and serve! **Chef's Notes by NancyG** * **Candy Placement:** Pressing the candy-coated chocolates into the soft peanut butter frosting while freshly piped ensures they stay firmly in place once set. * **Cookie Thickness:** Keep the rolled dough slightly thick (about a quarter inch) so the cookies are sturdy enough to hold the heavy layer of frosting and candies. * **Fall Festivities:** These decorative cookies make an incredible centerpiece dessert for autumn parties, Thanksgiving dessert tables, or seasonal family baking days. **Nutritional Facts (Per Serving)** * Calories: 420 kcal * Total Fat: 20 g * Saturated Fat: 8 g * Cholesterol: 45 mg * Sodium: 210 mg * Total Carbohydrates: 54 g * Dietary Fiber: 3 g * Sugars: 38 g * Protein: 7 g #TheRecipeCollector #NancyGCookOn #AutumnCookies #FallBaking #HarvestTreats
