1/2 teaspoon baking powder

To Make Nutella Spiced Sugar Cookies:
In a medium bowl, cream the butter, shortening,
and sugar with a hand
mixer on high speed for two minutes. Add the egg
and vanilla and beat
for one minute.
Stir in the remaining dry ingredients on low speed
just until combined.
Divide the dough in half, and flatten each piece
slightly (about 1-inch
thickness), cover tightly with plastic wrap and
refrigerate for about 1
hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 C). Roll
out each piece on was
paper to 1/8-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to
cut out desired
shapes-bats, pumpkins, headstones and bake on a cookie
sheet for 10
minutes. Cool Completely.
To Make the Glaze:
Heat the Nutella, milk and confectioner's sugar in
a small pot over low
heat until combined and slightly warm. Spread each
cookie with the glaze and decorate as desired with jimmies, sprinkles, mini
chips, or
Halloween candy. Allow them to set on a wire rack.
Store in an airtight
container.
