Instructions

Directions

In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together the butter and sugar. Mix on high until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing after each one. Gently mix in the vanilla extract, maple syrup, and sour cream.
Divide the dough evenly into 4 different bowls. Add and mix in a few drops of food coloring to each bowl, resulting in one red, one yellow, one orange, and one green dough. Wrap each colored dough separately and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease baking sheet and line with parchment paper. Set aside.
Lightly flour your surface and add dollops of colored dough next to each other and roll out to about 1/4 inch thickness. The colors should start to blend together.
Use leaf shape cookie cutters of your choice. Use a pairing knife to create leaf veins. Transfer each cookie to your prepared baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 7-10 minutes until edges are slightly brown. Let cool and devour!

The recipe does not tell you to mix the flour mixture and the sugar mixture together.

Recipe say mix sugar with butter (cream), Looks like it missed the step of incorporating the flour mixture into the butter, sugar egg.. no biggie if you made cookies before you would now to do this.
