Pumpkin-Spiced Star Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 17 1/2ounce  package sugar cookie mix
  • 1/3 cup  butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons  pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon  ground nutmeg
  • 1 recipe Browned Butter Icing (see recipe below)
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine dry cookie mix, butter, egg, pumpkin pie spice, and nutmeg. Stir with a wooden spoon until a stiff dough forms; if necessary, knead to combine.
