How is it possible that Halloween is in just over 2 weeks? I’m embarrassed to admit we haven’t even started to work on our costumes and this year, we’re all dressing up. Even the baby! I’ll be sure to post our looks (if they ever come together) here.

The one thing I got going on weeks ago, though, were all of the recipes we were going to be making on the days leading up to Halloween. We always spend Halloween night with my friend, Keri and her family, making Pizza Mummies and Mummy Dogs together. I actually tried to suggest making something different to the kids and Kenya and Chloe both protested immediately! Nice try mom.

This coming weekend we’re going to make our costumes (I’m praying they turn out) and bake up a batch of these Pumpkin Spice Roll Out Cookies. They have just the right amount of pumpkin flavor, they’re soft, but hold up to the dough being rolled out and cut into shapes as well as being a ton of fun to decorate.

The best part is that you can make the dough ahead of time so you can cut the cookies out into fun Halloween shapes with your kids whenever you have time. We love using a powdered sugar icing on them, but you can use any frosting you enjoy or serve them on their own.

I got these dye free orange jimmies for them to sprinkle on top which make them even more festive. Make this time of year extra special by trying out this not too sweet Pumpkin Spice Roll Out Cookie which will put smiles on everyone’s faces!

  1. Yes! Place in a single layer in the freezer until frozen, about 30 minutes. Then transfer to an airtight freezer safe container for up to 3 months!

  2. Wondering if you have a source for junk-free, sprinkles? The only naturally dyed orange sprinkles I found was a colored sugar (India Tree), but you can really taste the beta carotene! Thanks!

  3. These are great cookies! I made them tonight and my 3-year-old helped cut them out. The dough is very easy to work with and they hold their shape very well! I was very surprised to see that there was no egg…I actually read through the recipe a few times to make sure I wasn’t missing anything, but I guess it isn’t needed with the pumpkin. As an added bonus, since there was no egg we were able to sample some of the dough. Thanks for sharing…these will probably become a holiday tradition for us!

  4. Can you make the dough 1-2 days ahead and keep in the fridge until you are ready to roll/cut/bake?

  5. Look at her recipe for baked chocolate cinnamon doughnuts. It has the recipe for icing that she drizzles over the doughnuts. I’m guessing it would work perfectly for these cookies. I think it’s 1/4 C of powdered sugar and 1 T. of milk.
