I remember when I was little around Halloween we would make sugar cookies in the shape of pumpkins and ghosts. It was always so fun. Since I've started a family of my own I've tried to do this every year. We even expanded our shapes into cats, witches broom, moons, tombstone, and of coarse pumpkins. The kids love this, don't worry, they have their own dough and they keep rooling out their own while I make the cookies that we give to people. Same with the frosting, the kids frost their own and then I will frost the others. If your kids are anything like mine, they like to lick their fingers alot, (the frosting is delicious!!)
