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!

ROYAL ICING RECIPE and INSTRUCTIONS:

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.
