Either - Or

What's your most favorite thing about this time of year?  Mine is definitely all the get-togethers & yummy treats!  This is one of my most favorite recipes for this time of year.  You can use this same recipe to make either a crescent cookie that's perfect for dessert or gift-giving...

or a biscuit that's perfect for a brunch!

I call them Apple Butter Yum-Yums
Here's what you need:
2/3 c butter
1 c sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 c all-purpose flour
1 c apple butter
sugar
cinnamon

Beat butter for 30 seconds.  Add sugar, baking powder & salt.  Beat until combined.  Beat in eggs & vanilla.  Beat in flour, 1 c at a time.  Divide dough in half & refrigerate for a few hours.

Spread half of the dough mixture onto a floured surface.  Cut into 3" squares.  Spread 1 tsp apple butter onto the center of each square. 

*If you make crescent cookies:  fold the square in half.  Cut 2-3 slits at the top & slightly bend to separate the slits.  Place on a baking sheet.
*If you make biscuits:  fold the square loosely.  Use a spoon to drop the dough onto the baking sheet.

Sprinkle tops (whether you make crescent cookies or biscuits) with sugar & cinnamon.

Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.

enjoy!
