Chocolate Pumpkin Cut Out Cookies
Chocolate and pumpkin come together for a winning flavor combination in these great fun Halloween cookies.
Aren’t these cookies just the CUTEST!
Chocolate cut out sugar cookies with the added bonus of pumpkin spice gives these cookies great flavor. Cut them into any shape you’d like, using different cookie cutters. These are cut with a gingerbread boy and decorated like mummies… so cute and perfect for Halloween.
I can imagine these guys running around screaming……
I want my MUMMY!!!!! I want my MUMMY!
Proof the gingerbread cookie cutter isn’t just for Christmas time.
I couldn’t resist making these guys into mummies.
Break out your gingerbread cookie cutter early this year, these little guys are just TOO cute to say no to.
Roll out your dough between wax paper to avoid using too much flour and drying out the dough.
Place them on a cookie sheet and remember not to overcrowd cookies when baking them….trust me on this.
I wish you had smell-a-vision, chocolate, and pumpkin spices…..it’s getting yummy in here.
These really are one of my all-time favorite Halloween Cookies, I make batches of these each year and they get rave reviews!
AND…
be sure to take alook at this post…
these Ghost Cookies are not only super cute they are chocolate and peppermint flavor!

You'll need to print these instructions too!
I piped the eyes on with a #2 tip on the whites of the eyes and a #1 with the black.
I used a #264 tip for the white mummy stripes, alternatively, you can use a #5 pinched into an oval if needed.
I piped on royal icing back and forth and a bit diagonal to decorate the mummies.
I piped on eyes onto the cookies.
If you need eyes for other Halloween posts here is my post on royal icing googly eyes.

Looks like it’s time for you to get into the kitchen and try some of these recipes 🙂
These are perfect! and I love how you decorated them!
Those are nothing short of adorable
Those are so cute!!! And I bet down right delicious too 🙂
Fun (and delicious-looking!) cookies, Diane! 🙂
I love the simplicity of these cookies and how CUTE they are!
YES! These are SO cute! They look so gourmet!
Love all of these. These mummy cookies are so yummy! I will be making some of these recipes listed for my upcoming neighborhood halloween get together. The kids will love them.
Love the creativity of using the gingerbread man cutter for something other than Christmas!
These cut outs are so cute – they make me smile!! 🙂 You are so talented and creative, Diane – luv their little eyes!
Is there a substitute for the emulsion?
Lorann’s does make a pumpkin extract as well, but I really prefer the emulsion better. Alternatively you could add more pumpkin pie spice and I’m sure you will enjoy the flavor.
Super cute and a a great use of a gingerbread man cutter. Joni
These cookies are so cute, they made me giggle out loud, Diane! They’ve been PINNED, sistah! 🙂
SO super cute!
These are just so cute and fun to put together too!
These cookies are so adorable, Diane!
Diane, these are beyond adorable! What a great idea to mummify gingerbread men. I don’t think my mummy stripes will look as perfect as yours (I’m the worst when it comes to decorating cookies ‘n cakes, etc) but it’d be fun to try!
I can’t wait to try these!
So cute!! And I’m giggling over “I want my Mummy”. What fun you must have had making and decorating these cookies.
These are so cute! Wait, and mummies supposed to be cute?!?!
These are just magnificent, Diane!!! SO darn cute!
