Ingredients:
- 1 batch of your favorite sugar cookie dough
- Orange food coloring
- Edible orange glitter
- White icing (for piping)
- Green icing (for stems)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cookie Dough:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Prepare a batch of your favorite sugar cookie dough or use store-bought dough for convenience. 🍪
2. Shape the Cookies:
Roll out the cookie dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
3. Bake the Cookies:
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
4. Tint the Frosting:
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting. Tint the frosting with orange food coloring to achieve a vibrant pumpkin color. Adjust the color intensity according to your preference.
5. Frost the Cookies:
Once the cookies are completely cooled, frost each one with the tinted orange frosting, leaving a small area at the top unfrosted for the stem.
6. Add Glitter:
Sprinkle the frosted cookies with edible orange glitter to add a touch of sparkle and whimsy.
7. Pipe the Details:
Using white icing, pipe the “ribs” of the pumpkin onto each cookie. Then, use green icing to pipe a small stem at the top of each pumpkin.
8. Let Dry:
Allow the icing to dry completely before serving or storing the cookies in an airtight container.
Serving Suggestions:
These Pumpkin Cookies are perfect for Halloween parties, fall gatherings, or as a sweet treat for friends and family. Serve them alongside a cup of hot apple cider or pumpkin spice latte for the ultimate autumn indulgence! 🍂☕️
