Pumpkin Frosted Cookies

Pumpkin Frosted Cookies These cookies will be the hit of your party. I have made these cookies for years for our every year pumpkin carving party. The kids look forward to the fun of decorating them. These are made ahead and piled on a plate waiting for the faces to be added using chocolate gel. It is fabulous to see the creativity of the kids(and adults) as they decorate their pumpkin cookies.
