Chocolate Pumpkin Cut out Cookies

Recipe Description

Chocolate Pumpkin Cut Out Cookies are my son’s favorite Halloween cookie – I make them for his class Halloween party each year and they always go down a treat! These cookies look like friendly mummies and they are a very instagrammable treat!

I make these using my gingerbread man cookie cutter – I start with a chocolate cookie base flavored with pumpkin spice. Once they are cooked, I pipe on royal icing bandages backwards and forwards and a few diagonal stripes. I pipe on eyes using white icing with black icing dots for the pupils. They really look like mummies in the end!

To make Chocolate Pumpkin Cut Out Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
