These cute pumpkin cookies are fun to make and decorate with kids for Halloween. There’s no need to make them fancy. They’re large enough that even toddlers can help decorate them. Just tint vanilla icing (store-bought or ready-made) orange and green, and spread over the cookie to make the pumpkin and stem. Black decorator icing, accented with candy corns, works great for the eyes and mouth.

Fern Taylor’s Ribbon Cookies
Every year Mrs. Taylor makes dozens and dozens of Christmas cookies in assorted fancy shapes, and every year her daughter’s friends eat way too many of them. We especially like these pretty pastel ribbons, which are good all year long.
