Pink pumpkin spice and lemon icing Halloween cookies

Makes about 30-40 cookies.

Ingredients

For the pumpkin spice cookies:

  • 250 g flour
  • 100g ground almonds
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin spice mix
  • 100 g soft brown sugar
  • 125 g butter
  • 1 egg
  • a pinch of salt

For the icing:

  • Icing sugar
  • Lemon juice
  • Beetroot powder (or pink food colouring)

Method

For the cookies:

  1. Soften butter and sugar using a spatula or the paddle attachment of your standmixer. Incorporate flour, ground almonds, spices, salt and egg. Mix until the mixture is homogeneous.
  2. Shape dough into a disk and wrap in parchment paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 170°C (340 F).
  4. Flour lightly your work surface and roll the dough to the desired thickness (usually around 4-5mm). Using cookie cutters, cut out cookies and place on a baking sheet line with parchment paper.
  5. Bake until golden (12-15 minutes) and let cool on a wire rack.

For the icing:

  1. In a bowl, mix icing sugar with just a pinch of beetroot power. Incorporate a tiny bit of lemon juice and mix until it becomes a paste. If too thick, add some more juice. If too liquid, thicken it with more icing sugar.  
  2. Once the cookies are cool, use a piping bag to pipe the icing on the cookies. Leave to set for 1 hour, then add the eyes and mouth with some melted dark chocolate (you can use a toothpick for that)
  3. Leave to set for 1 hour. Enjoy, and happy Hallowine!
