Stencil First! Create dimensional pumpkins without the stress using a stencil! Watch and learn how to STENCIL, FLOOD, and AIRBRUSH pumpkins that have lots of POP, but not a lot of work (my favorite kind of cookie LOL).
Cookie Yield
This is a medium cookie. So for a single batch of dough, you can make 18-20 of these cookies. I should note that I roll my cookies to 1/4" thick using the Dough EZ Rolling Mat System. The thickness of your cookies will impact your yield.

Prepping the Royal Icing
ICING PREP
For a single batch of dough, I typically use a single batch of icing. Since I'm using a KitchenAid mixer, I made a double batch of icing and split it in half (reserving half for another project).
These cookies feature 4 icing colors - another reason these are so easy! I used Sunset Orange, Leaf Green, Buckeye Brown, and Black . I don't measure exactly...I estimate. For a more detailed look at icing planning, CLICK HERE to read this helpful blog post.
