Time 1h30m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Assorted candies, nuts and miniature semisweet chocolate chips, if desired
6 cups powdered sugar
2/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/3 cup frozen (thawed) orange juice concentrate
Green, yellow and red food colors

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, mix brown sugar, 1 cup butter, the shortening and eggs until well blended. Stir in flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt.
  • On lightly floured surface, roll 1/4 of dough at a time to 1/4-inch thickness. (Keep remaining dough refrigerated until ready to roll.) Cut with 3-inch pumpkin-shaped or round cookie cutter. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • In large bowl, mix powdered sugar and 2/3 cup butter until smooth. Stir in juice concentrate. Place 1/3 cup frosting in small bowl; add green food color until desired color for stems. To remaining frosting, add 2 drops yellow food color for every 1 drop red food color for desired shade of orange. Generously frost cookies with orange frosting. Frost stems with green frosting. Make jack-o'-lantern faces with candies.

I had trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. They spread out too much in the oven.

These cookies were a hit at my Halloween party! They were so cute and festive, and they tasted delicious. I used a combination of chocolate chips and candy corn for the eyes and nose, and they turned out perfect.
