The softest pumpkin cookies

10/23/2020

I am not kidding when I say these are the softest cookies (at least that I have ever had)! and super fun and easy to make.

I didn't use a spoon at all while prepping this batter- its much easier to just do it by hand and break up any lumps for optimal softness. Ask a parent for help with the oven, and share with the whole family!

It's that time of year, hot cider, pumpkins, apples, CANDY, and my favorite: Jack-O-Lanterns! This year I I grew some remember when we read "Seeds Move!" by Robin Page and I showed you some of the seeds I started? I ended up with three lovely pumpkins for this Halloween!

But I wanted a few more pumpkins, so I hope you enjoy this Jack-O-Lantern craft and make a few of your own too!

You will need:

Two paper plates
Assorted orange coloring materials (crayons, colored pencil, marker, etc...)
Scissors
Glue Stick
Black Paper
Add-ons: I used a green pipe cleaner for the stem and green paper cut as a leaf.

Begin by stacking your two paper plates together.
Cut the side of the plate off, making a flat "bottom" for your pumpkin.
Separate your two plates and place them upside down.
Now here comes the fun part, coloring your plates (Jack-O-Lanterns). Remember; this is the back side of the plate. I used a combination of lines, shapes, and all sorts of shades of the color orange.
Flip your two plates over.
On one of your plates, cut a Jack-O-Lantern face. You may need an adult to help you cut the shapes out of the plate.
Use your glue stick and glue the black paper over to cover your cut our Jack-O-Lantern face. This will be glued to the side of the plate you would normally be eating on.
Here is where you can add your own extra touches. For me, I used a green pipe cleaner I twisted as my stem and a green piece of paper cute into a leaf like shape.
Glue your extras to the lip of the plate, then glue the rest of the edges.
Place the plate together so the edges are touching, and the flap ends are one the bottom.
Prop up our new Jack-0-Lantern!
