Many of us are still in full summertime mode and loving every minute of it. Skipping the best of one season to leapfrog to another runs the risk of taking all the fun out of seasonal updating and decorating, and we certainly don’t want that to happen.

Small touches make a big impact to your dominant décor style accomplishing the intended purpose of seasonal decorating- to create standout statement vignettes, spots, and corners ready to capture the eye and the essence of the current season.

Granted it’s seasonal updating and decorating we’re talking about and not meat and potatoes (and fuel) concerns, but we decoristas do find so much joy in the time honored tradition of seasonal updating house and home and porch and patio for each new season.

Pine Cone Wooden Cookie Mold

Springerle Shortbread Cookies

Ingredients

2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature

½ cup granulated sugar

3 teaspoons light brown sugar

½ teaspoon salt

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 large egg

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon rum extract

Directions

Beat butter, sugars, and salt together until light and creamy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined.  Fold in the flour.

Divide the dough in half, shape both halves into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.   Grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.

Flour the work surface.  Working with one disc of chilled dough at the time, roll it out to approximately  ¼” thick.

Lightly brush a coating of flour onto both the dough and the springerle mold. Press mold firmly into the dough making a deep impression.  Remove dough filled mold and cut around the design with a knife.  Place each cut cookie on prepared cookie sheet.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. Allow baked cookies to cool either on cookie sheet or wire racks.

Store cookies in an air-tight container.  Cookies will keep for 1 week.
