Halloween Cutout Cookies

• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine — softened
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 4 cups Bisquick® Original baking mix
• 11 drops yellow food color
• 7 drops red food color
• 2 tablespoons baking cocoa
• Egg Yolk Paint — (recipe follows)

EGG YOLK PAINT

• 1 egg yolk
• 1/4 teaspoon water
• Food colors

Beat powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in baking mix until soft dough forms. Divide dough in half. Mix yellow and red food colors into 1 half to make orange dough; mix cocoa into other half to make chocolate dough. Cover and refrigerate doughs separately 1 to 2 hours or until chilled.

Heat oven to 400º. Roll one-fourth of the dough at a time 1/8 inch thick on floured cloth-covered surface. (Keep remaining dough refrigerated until ready to roll.) Cut orange dough with 2- to 3-inch pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter and chocolate dough with medium-size cat-shaped cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
