What’s a tailgating party without a few footballs to pass around? These fabulous little cookies are the charming end to any pre-game event. We’ve popped them on a stick for even more fun.
2 3/4 cups Pioneer Original or Buttermilk Biscuit & Baking Mix
1 cup white chocolate baking chips
2 teaspoons shortening
Preparation
1
In large mixer bowl, beat sugar and butter until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add egg, ginger, cinnamon and cloves; beat until light and fluffy. Add Pioneer Biscuit & Baking Mix, beating on low speed to combine.
2
Chill dough for at least 1 hour. On surface dusted with Pioneer Biscuit & Baking Mix, roll out half of dough to 1/8-inch thickness. With cookie cutter, cut out football shapes (or other shapes as desired). Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheets coated with nonstick cooking spray.
3
Bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes or until tops are no longer moist. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough.
4
To decorate, place white chocolate chips and shortening in heavy-duty resealable plastic bag; microwave on 50 percent power for 3 to 4 minutes, massaging bag every minute, or until chips are melted.
5
Cut off tip of one corner of bag. Pipe melted white chocolate onto cookies to resemble seams on footballs.
6
Makes 4 to 5 dozen cookies, depending on size of cutter.
