Hello my dear steemians. The traditional "Halloween" party is approaching and it is very common for our children's school to start asking us for a snack to share on this special day and for those moments of trouble you do not have to break your head a lot because in this post I will show you step by step an easy, rich and eye-catching "Pumpkin shaped cookies".

Note that this celebration is very exciting and expected by children for the simple fact of being able to dress up and taste the rich sweets and desserts that are shared between family and friends. If you want to surprise the little ones in the house, do not stop following this recipe:


Ingredients: (For 15 diners).

-For the mass:

• 5 cups of wheat flour.
• 1 cup of sugar.
• 1 cup of butter
• 2 eggs.
• 1 spoon of vanilla.

-For decoration:

• Orange fondant.
• Black fondant.


Preparation process:

Step 1:

The first thing that must be done is to prepare the dough, for this, all its ingredients are mixed until obtaining a firm consistency that can be mixed with the hands. Then it is stretched with the help of a rolling pin, and cut with a round mold. Later they are taken to the oven previously preheated to 180 degrees for approximately 12 minutes. If you want to make the procedure much easier you can buy Maria cookies and we will skip this step.

Step 6:

Now the black fondant is stretched, and the shape of the eyes is chopped with a knife, which in your case would be triangles and the mouth can make it in the terrifying way that they like the most.

Step 7:

To apply the mouth and eyes, apply the same procedure of wetting with a little water but in this case very carefully so that the orange fondant does not fade and stain.

To give a better presentation you can also place green fondant underneath to simulate the leaves of the plant. And ready to share and enjoy.
