Ingredients
Cookie
- 3/4 cup butter softened
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Frosting
- 1/3 cup butter softened
- 4 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- Orange food coloring
Topping
- Orange decorating gel, green M&Ms, candy eyes, orange sugar sprinkles
Instructions
Cookie
- Preheat oven to 375°F
- Cream butter, cream cheese, sugars, egg, and almond in a large bowl (or Kitchen-Aid) until fluffy.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture. Stir until soft dough forms.
- Roll out and cut with a cookie cutter. Thin dough will make crunchy cookies. If you want a soft dough, it needs to be about ⅜ in. {NOTE: Try not to handle the dough too much}
- Bake for 8-10 minutes on greased pan. Let cool.
Frost and decorate
- Make frosting by mixing all ingredients with a hand mixer. If too thick, add a tad more milk.
- Frost the cookies with orange frosting.
- Use the decorating gel to add texture to the pumpkins. Sprinkle with orange sugar sprinkles then add an M&M for the green stem and place on the candy eyes.
