As we head toward the weekend I’ll leave you with one final Halloween cookie idea.
Last year I made some pretty Jeweled Pumpkins for decorations, and this year I thought it would be fun to turn them into cookies!
If you’d like to make some cookies like these you’ll need…
A batch of cookies made from my Sugar Cookie Recipe, and a batch of Royal Icing.
Prepare one bag of orange icing in a medium/flood consistency. One bag of brown, thick/piping consistency icing, and one bag of black, thick/piping consistency icing.
Outline and flood segments of the pumpkins with orange, doing every other segment first. After those areas have set (about 1 hour), come back in and flood the other segments (as I did with THESE pumpkins and is shown step by step on Sweet Sugar Belle).
Add the pumpkin stem with brown icing, using a zig-zag to create some texture.
When the pumpkins are totally dry (about 8 hours), add black dots in a swirl pattern (of your choice). While the black icing is still wet, sprinkle with disco dust (as shown) or white sanding sugar.
Prop note- Orange candle holders from glassybaby.

These are so delicious and stylish!
How glorious, I love the Jeweled Pumpkins!
Lovely:) I admire so much your amazing talent, you made me obsessed with baking and especially sugar cookies as i have 2 toddlers and we enjoy so much baking and decorating:) my problem is that at the end they only eat the plain cookies and leave all the lovely decorated ones, they find royal icing too hard they don’t like it 🙁 is there a solution.
Certainly personal taste varies quite a bit. In general, I’m not sure this kind of cookie would appeal to toddlers. Feel free to try this simple butter frosting, https://www.glorioustreats.com/cookie-decorating-kits-for-kids-and-easy-butter-frosting-recipe/
Also, it depends on the brand of meringue powder you’re using how hard the finished royal icing is. It should not be rock hard. If you find it too hard, add 1 tablespoon of corn syrup to the icing, and mix in well. This will help a bit.
Ciao, your ideas are always so nice!
You are so talented. They are gorgeous.
