| Sugar | 1/3 cup |
| Pumpkin puree | 1 cup |
| Eggs | 1 |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| All-purpose flour | 2 cups |
| Baking soda | 1 teaspoon |
| Baking powder | 1 teaspoon |

Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and grease a cookie sheet with cooking spray or butter.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until creamy and well combined.
-
Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the mixture, and mix until smooth and thoroughly incorporated.
-
Sift in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, and ground nutmeg. Stir until the dry ingredients are just combined with the wet ingredients.
-
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
-
Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, ensuring each cookie is about 4-5 inches in diameter and leaving approximately 2 inches of space between each cookie.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cookies are firm and lightly golden brown around the edges.
-
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the butter and confectioners’ sugar until smooth and creamy.
-
Stir in the orange zest and juice until well combined and the frosting is a smooth consistency.
-
Transfer the frosting to a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip, or alternatively, you can use a ziplock bag with a small corner cut off.
-
Pipe a spiral of frosting onto the top of each cooled cookie, starting from the center and moving outward towards the edges, to create the spider web design.
-
Using a knife, draw lines from the center of the frosting outwards towards the edges of the cookie, creating a spider web pattern.
-
Serve these delicious Spider Web Pumpkin Cookies at your son’s Halloween party and watch as everyone marvels at your spooky culinary creation!
