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.

I know this post is old but I just made these. The dough is so easy to work with and they’re delicious! Thanks for an awesome recipe!
Thanks for commenting, and I’m glad you like the recipe.
Happy Baking 🙂
Do you know what the yield for this recipe is?
I made 36 (3inch) gingerbread men. It will depend on the size cookie cuter you use.
Not only do these sound delicious, but I adore how you decorated them 🙂 so fun!!
I think these are about the cutest things I’ve ever seen. Not to mention, they look absolutely delicious!
Temperature? I am going to go with 350 but it’s not specified in the recipe.
sorry about that, I bake them at 400. If you bake them at 350 they will need a few more minutes. I adjusted the recipe to reflect the temperature. Thanks so much for letting me know I forgot it.
So so cute Diane! This was featured today on Fun Family Crafts, thanks for sharing! https://funfamilycrafts.com/chocolate-mummy-cookies/
