Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter diced
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable shortening
  • 4 to 6 tablespoons ice cold water
  • 1 egg whisked with a splash of water
  • 1/4 cup turbinado sugar

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt and pumpkin spice. Cut in the butter and shortening with your fingers, two knives, a pastry blender or a vegetable masher until it resembles coarse crumbs the size of peas.
  • Add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix by hand with a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon until it comes together to form a rough dough. Shape into a disc and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the chilled dough into a large rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Cut out into desired shapes and place on prepared cookie sheet. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake until golden brown around the edges, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Transfer to wire rack and allow to cool completely. Use on pumpkin pie cake. Enjoy!
