Use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter to make these Pumpkin Spiced Cut-out Cookies then serve them plain or decorate them using royal icing flavored with real maple syrup. These are the perfect cookie for fall, Halloween, or Thanksgiving.
Fall is the perfect time to make these Pumpkin Spiced Cut-Out Cookies. As they bake your kitchen will be filled with the most amazing aroma of pumpkin, nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon.
Once the cookies have cooled it will be hard to resist biting into one of them. Go ahead. They are delicious all on their own.
We were eating so many that I worried I wouldn't have any to decorate!
I whipped up a batch of royal icing using real maple syrup and was happy I had cookies to decorate because the flavor combination was amazing.
The warm spices in the pumpkin cookie mingled with the sweet maple syrup-flavored royal icing are perfection.
The royal icing hardens enough so that you will be able to stack or package the cookies once they are dried, but because of the addition of the maple syrup, the icing stays a bit softer than traditional royal icing, which is really nice.
