With fall in the air and Halloween just around the corner, I decided to make a fun, easy chocolate chip cookie. I’ve got the cookie recipe for you as well as how to decorate your cookie to look like a pumpkin. So cute and so easy!
You can use any chocolate chip cookie recipe that you like. I’ve got a recipe for you at the end of this post with detailed directions on how to make and decorate your chocolate chip cookie. My chocolate chip cookie recipe, came with a heart shaped pan that I bought. It works really well for these bar type cookies and is yummy, too.
Mix up your dough.
 
Make it into the shape of a circle or cook it in a circular pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.
 
Let your cookie cool completely before decorating it. Mix your frosting with food coloring. There is a great tool for this on the food network website. They figured out how many drops of regular food coloring it takes to make lots of different colors. You can see that on their site at: Frost by Numbers. I list the number of drops to make both the orange and green colors in the printable recipe at the bottom of this post.
 
Put the orange food coloring on the cookie. When you smooth the frosting out, smooth it in downward strokes to mimic the lines of a pumpkin. Add fall M&M’s for the eyes and mouth and 3 candy corns for the nose.
 
 
Finally use a resealable plastic bag with one corner cut off to pipe your stem in place on your pumpkin cookie. Easy peasy, done! Now you have a cute, yummy chocolate chip cookie!
Now, the hard part, cutting it up to eat it. 🙂

      It would make a great Halloween dessert. I don’t usually do a dessert that night as they get so much candy, but it sure would make a cute addition. Have a great night!

      I’m not really sure. It depends on the size you cut the cookie into. I think the recipe I modified states something like 8 servings. I feel like we’ve usually done at least double that.
      Sorry I’m not more help.
