Glowing Jack-O-Lantern Cookies

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk
Orange and green food coloring
1 (5.5-ounce) package lemon drop candy, crushed*

2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt, mixing well; set aside.
3. Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and mix well. Stir in flour mixture. Add milk if batter is too stiff.
4. Tint all but 1/8 of dough orange and tint remaining dough green.
5. Roll 1-inch balls from the orange dough and flatten with the bottom of a sugar coated glass. Place on prepared baking sheets.
